Serpentinite body explored by a small quarry. Talc- and actinolite-rich zones are developed at the contact of serpentinite with mica schist and were explored by 4 adits in the early 1950s. In the summer of 2014, an interesting find of Durango-type yellow hydroxylapatite crystals and aggregates embedded in talc was made in the SW corner of the abandoned quarry.
