Serpentinbrüche, Dietmannsdorf an der Wild, Brunn an der Wild, Waldviertel, Niederösterreich, Österreich


Abandoned and active serpentinite quarries. The serpentinite is heavily tectonised and altered by hydrothermal processes and by weathering.
The locality is known for silica varieties (opal, chalcedony).

Located about 2 km NW of Dietmannsdorf an der Wild.

Notes on the mineral list: Kolitsch et al. (2018) also mention an unidentified nickel silicate.
