Name(s) in local language(s):
greisenový lom Vysoký kámen


Abandoned greisen deposit (open-pit exploitation/quarry), now completely filled with waste.

Known for an assemblage of secondary phosphates.

Not to be confused with the nearby active feldspar quarry to the west!

Sejkora et al. (2006): "The greisen stock at Vysoký Kámen is positioned south-west of the Schnöd stock, in extension of a line connecting the Schnöd and Huber granite stocks."
