There is not too much available information on the site online, other than news reports and a limited mindat page.
The quarry produces excellent specimens of various forms of Quartz, particularly Agates – presumably it is crushing rock for aggregates and visits by collectors occasionally manage to save some specimens – unfortunately, I was not able to find any further information.
