The xenolith specimen with karlleuite was collected by Bernd Ternes and Günter Blaβ in the area of the open quarry in 1980. The xenolith zone, in which the new mineral was discovered, is characterised by different colours related to the main rock-forming components: pink for reinhardbraunsite, bluish for minerals of [the] fluorellestadite-fluorapatite series, brownish-grey for larnite and highly altered gehlenite, and white for several hydrated Ca aluminosilicates.
