Schimmelsprung, Thunau am Kamp, Gars am Kamp, Waldviertel, Niederösterreich, Österreich
Extinct pegmatite occurrence in paragneisses and micaschists of the Drosendorf unit and Gföhl unit.
The occurrence consisted of a single large pegmatite boulder discovered by Albert Prayer on the slope of a forestry road, below the Schimmelsprung castle ruin. Since the boulder contained well-formed large, zoned garnet crystals (and some kyanite), it was completely split up to find specimens.
The growth zones of the garnet were studied in detail by Kohn et al. (2024). As inclusions, the following minerals were observed: Unspecified phosphates, Sn-bearing rutile, srilankite, cassiterite and zircon.
