A quarry in a pegmatite, started in 1923 and operated only for about one year, after which the pegmatite was more or less exhausted. It became famous for excellent specimens of monazite and xenotime up to 5 mm, large smoky quartz and feldspar found in miarolitic cavities. Subsequently, collectors extracted more specimens through hard work.

Today the main part of the pegmatite is filled with dirt but biotite lenses with monazite are still there and monazite, xenotime-(Y), zircon and massive schorl can easily be found!
