Late Variscan, extremely fractionated, strongly peraluminous, F- and P-rich, rare-metal granite stock situated in the western Krusné Hory Mountains.
Part of the Nejdek-Eibenstock granite pluton (~325-320 Ma) which forms part of the Karlovy Vary granite massif.

The stock granite is intercalated with albite-zinnwaldite granite dyke-layers and pegmatite dykes. The granite system is characterized by a two-stage evolution, with parental and residual (P-enriched) melts.

Located between Rozhraní (Halbmeil), part of Ryžovna (Seifen), and Háje (Zwittermühl), part of Potûčky (Breitenbach).
