(Kozłowski, Matuszczak 2021): A quarry located on the southern slope of Złomy Hill. A pegmatite (58 cm in size) of irregular shape was found next to biotite - and hornblende-rich schlieren, partly included into the pegmatite.

Spots of granophyric intergrowths and feldspar-quartz aggregates occurred between the schlieren fragments. In these fragments biotite altered to chlorite and in the latter crystallized euhedral pyrite and yellowish fluorite cubes, up to 1 mm in size.

Note: Samples of pegmatites (Kozłowski, Matuszczak 2021) were collected in the years 1968–2006.
