Scherbadung (Monte Cervandone) is a 3211 m high peak on the Swiss-Italian border. The locality has been described by Parker (1973) on pages 299-305.
Minerals reported from the Italian side are listed separately, see Monte Cervandone area, Devero Alp, Baceno, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola Province, Piedmont, Italy.
Recently, at the lower levels of the Wanni glacier, the same REE-mineralized quartz-feldspar nodules as in the Ritter Pass area have been discovered in a much smaller zone compared to the former. Hence, fewer mineral species have been found so far (Cuchet et al. 2014).
