Racoş is located in the Perşani Mountains, Eastern Carpathians, on the right side of the Olt River, at 15 Km (9.3 miles) in the eastern part of Rupea city. Documentary attested since 1377.
Triassic and Lower Jurassic basement, Mesozoic sedimentary rocks, Neogene-Quaternary calc-alkaline volcanism. Dominant extrusive igneous rocks, especially basalts. Also stand out the serpentinites, metabasites, calc-silicate xenoliths that host most of the minerals found here.
Dacite tuffs, mixed silicic and basaltic products of the volcanism, scoria foam were spread over the large areas.

Several basalt and limestone quarries inoperable now.
