Volcanic plug several hundred meters across in which is a quarry (Birkenmajer et al. 2002). The dark grey rock originally described as pyroxene basalt with glass (Wojno et all 1951), , later as ankaratrite or basanite (Białowolska 1980, Kozłowska-Koch 1976, 1987). Birkenmajer et all (2002)results the rock is basanite with glass.

Peridotite, granite, marble, mica schist as xenoliths.
