Description

Very interesting gypsum crystals which in the growing phase they have caught small traces of gray dolomie veins forming between the gypsum spathic this quarry.

In this quarry my father worked as a dynamiter for many years, nowadays the quarry is still active but no longer found new crystals, as jobs are too deep.
