Abandoned quarry in a small serpentinite body, with pegmatite vein.
Located near Věžná village.

The serpentinite lies on the border between "strážecké moldanubikum" and "svratecké krystalinikum" units. Some minerals could be found, however, do not expect aesthetic druses - usually, it's pieces of "bronzite", opal, chalcedony, huntite, or magnesite - so typical minerals for serpentinites.
