Špičák u Krásného Lesa 724m is a mountain in Ore Mountains (Czech: Krušné Hory) with a 4-8 m wide strip of tertiary, black-gray olivine nephelinite with a columnar jointing at a distance of about 120 m, which breaks through the Upper Cenomanian sandstones. The texture of the rock is often slightly amygdaloidal, individual cavities are mainly made up of calcite, more rarely analcime. In concentric zonal ones, a SiO2 mass close to opal rarely appears with calcite. In olivine nephelinite, 5-20mm (max. 80 mm) xenoliths of peridotite are commonly scattered.

The volcanic body belong to the Central European Volcanic Province (CEVP)consists of olivine nephelinite.
