The Gewand Quarry II, Gewand Quarry onder or Onderste Gewand Quarry is a marl quarry in the Dutch municipality of Valkenburg aan de Geul in South Limburg. The underground quarry is located southeast of Valkenburg in the northeastern part of the Biebosch slope forest on the northeastern edge of the Margraten Plateau in the transition to the Geuldal. At the site, the plateau plunges steeply for several meters.

about 300 meters to the southwest is the Biebosch Quarry
and about 400 meters to the southeast is the Pruus Karel II Quarry.

The quarry was mined by block crushers for the extraction of limestone blocks.
The Gewand quarry II consists of a single corridor of approximately 25 meters long and has an area of approximately 128 square meters.
The entrance to the quarry is closed, so that bats can use the quarry as a roost.
