The office and business address of the Lahošť quarry, known for distinctive specimens of barite, is in the town of Lahošť, but the quartzite-marlstone quarry itself lies just across the line within the neighboring village of Jeníkov.

The quarry exploits Mesozoic quartzite since 1920.
NOTE: With new extraction activity in part of the quarry (2020), entrance without permission is prohibited!

Located between Lahošť (neighbouring municipality) and Jeníkov.

Detailed Mineral List:

ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
Colour: deep orange
Description: From Moore (1990): "The crystals, equant and blocky and very sharp, measure up to 3 cm across, and are scattered liberally over flat gray matrixes of a tough quartzite; the largest matrix on hand was about 12 cm across. The crystals are basically a deep orange, and near-gemmy, but a light frostedness on the faces makes them look brownish to gray from any distance. The find is about two years old; collecting is now proceeding, and there will be more of these aesthetically very appealing barites at the next Munich show and (presumably) thereafter."
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
ⓘ Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
ⓘ Pyrite
Formula: FeS2
ⓘ Quartz
Formula: SiO2
ⓘ Sphalerite
Formula: ZnS
