After the mining was stopped, the deep open pit was subsequently filled up with earth for the most part. The uppermost parts of some pit walls are still accessible, however (situation in April 2022), even though large trees have grown next to the walls.

Known for the best and largest green (coloured by V3+) dravite crystals (up to 4 cm long and 2 cm thick) in the graphite deposits of Lower Austria. The unique occurrence was discovered in 1995.

ⓘ 'Pumpellyite Subgroup'

Description: 1) "Pumpellyite" was erroneously assigned to Trandorf by Brandstätter (1987). However, it occurs in the areas "Korundgraben" and "Weinberg Mitte". 2) Re-interpretation of the analysis in Brandstätter (1987) suggests that the sample is possibly Al-dominant, even if taking into account the dominant-constituent rule. (Comment Uwe Kolitsch)
