Name(s) in local language(s):
Cava Valle Strassa (Cava al km 6 della strada Tonezza-Folgaria), Valdastico, Val d'Astico (Valdastico), Provincia di Vicenza, Veneto, Italia
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).
The quarry is particularly known for the first find of hydrotalcite reported from Vicenza province (Scaini et al., 1967), for white radiating aggregates of "thomsonite" and pinkish baryte crystals.
