Eclogites (associated with garnet lherzolites and garnet pyroxenites) within Precambrian gneisses at the boundary zone between Kupferberg sequence and Reichsdorf sequence (Preßnitz series/Flöha syncline).

Peak metamorphism conditions : 700-800 °C/>13-16 kb.

Quartz pseudomorphs after coesite inclusions in omphacite and garnet are frequent.
