Several phosphate minerals occur in small quantities in vugs in limonite pebbles from the fields and meadows in the triangle Rengersdorf - Kodersdorf - Wiesa. Their visual appearance does not suffice for reliable identification - for example, the dufrénite had initially been mistaken for rockbridgeite.
