Name(s) in local language(s):
, , Kraj Vysočina
Active quarry in granitoids, partially with crystalline mantle (gneisses, migmatites).
Rocks are, from time to time, intersected by hydrothermal veins, relative to veinstone Ag-deposit of Jihlava ore district. Quartz-carbonate veins contain only a small amount of ore minerals, mainly pyrite, arsenopyrite and sphalerite. Alpine-type veins with quartz, feldspars, micas, pyrite, arsenopyrite and Ti-oxide rarely occur. Both vein types sometimes blend into one.
Dark (ultra)basic xenoliths are also present.
In 2005, there was a find of 5-15cm thick quartz-calcite veins with pyrite and zones of hydrothermally altered granite with numerous tiny vugs after leached quartz with arsenopyrite and anatase crystals.
In 2016, rich anatase specimens were found in only one boulder of gneiss.
