Pegmatite boulders found on fields in the vicinity of Eibenstein.
The pegmatite described in the papers by Ertl et al. (2004) is a tourmaline-, topaz-, and cassiterite-bearing elbaite-subtype pegmatite characterised by very Mn-rich fluorapatite.

Not to be confused with the Hengl quarry at Eibenstein. This is a different locality.
