Outcrop of strata-bound metamorphosed pyrite-pyrrhotite mineralization hosted in Lower Paleozoic carbon-rich amphibole schist. Explored by two short adits and small open pit.

"The mineralization originated from primarily V-, Cr-, and C-rich mafic pyroclastic rocks, affected by volcano-exhalative processes. These rocks were weakly metamorphosed during early Hercynian regional metamorphism (M1), followed by late-Hercynian contact metamorphism (M2) with crystallization of V,Cr-rich silicates, diopside, amphiboles, phlogopite, titanite, albite, quartz, carbonate, pyrite, and pyrrhotite. The youngest Alpine(?) retrograde metamorphic event (M3) is connected with production of V,Cr-poor muscovite, clinochlore, clinozoisite, pumpellyite-(Mg), prehnite, quartz, and carbonates, under prehnite-pumpellite facies conditions." (Uher et al., 2008).

The green garnets have been analyzed by Uher et al. (2008) with the following results: EMPA reveals strong variations in V, Cr, and Al, i.e., within goldmanite-uvarovite-grossular solid solutions. These analyses show 5–19 wt% V2O3, 5–11 wt% Cr2O3, and 2–13 wt% Al2O3, corresponding to 16–64 mol% goldmanite, 19–36 mol% of uvarovite, and 9–59 mol% of grossular.

Thus, probably not all "goldmanite" photos show real goldmanite.
