Name(s) in local language(s):
Cava del Passo della Borcola (Cava Lucchi; Cava Prato Lorda), Posina, Provincia di Vicenza, Veneto, Italia
This brucite marble quarry, also known as Lucchi quarry or Prato Lorda quarry (Morandi & Perna, 1970), is located not far from the Borcoletta quarry (see http://www.mindat.org/loc-244650.html). The boundary line between Vicenza and Trento provinces runs between the two quarries.
This brucite marble, commercially known as pearl grey marble, is the product of contact metamorphism, originated from Cenozoic basaltic intrusions in Late Triassic (Norian) dolostone (Dolomia Principale Formation).
Dolomite, as colourless and white rhombohedral crystals or grouped into white to pinkish saddle-like aggregates, serpentine subgroup minerals, as green, yellowish or brown veinlets and incrustations, and goethite after pyrite crystals are ubiquitary in marble. Aragonite, besides the tipical acicular crystals, sometimes apperas in coralloid forms; brucite, which normally forms white or bluish massive veins and colourless or bluish hexagonal crystals, has occasionally been found in a pinkish Mn-rich variety; giorgiosite rarely appears as white globular incrustations.
Zeolites, garnet, etc. are found in the cavities of the magmatic rocks, in which the presence of olivine and pyroxene (diopside) was already reported by Maddalena (1906).
