Cava di Valle della Neve (ex Barbarena), Tonezza del Cimone, Provincia di Vicenza, Veneto, Italia
Abandoned brucite marble quarry located on Monte Campomolon, NW of Tonezza del Cimone. It can be reached from the road connecting Tonezza del Cimone to Folgaria.
This brucite marble, commercially known as pearl grey marble, is the product of contact metamorphism, originated from Cenozoic basaltic intrusions in Late Triassic dolostone (Dolomia Principale Formation).
This quarry is particularly known for hydrotalcite.
