Herbstein basalt quarry

The quarry itself appears to have been backfilled and is now being used as a processing plant, crusher, etc.

The minerals once found here were primarily the interesting sorts you expect to hear about in basalts – chabazite, erionite, levyne, offretite, natrolite, etc.

The site may also be known as:

• Herbstein basalt quarry
