Several pegmatite occurrences in the surroundings of Scheib.

NOTE: The grid reference is centered on the well-known outcrop of garnet-bearing pegmatite about 500 m North of Scheib.
Previously listed grossular and hessonite were erroneous entries. Garnets from this locality should be named as almandine or almandine-spessartine series.
