Geology

Short characteristics of the site: Open pits at sites where Bohemian garnet (pyrope) has been exploited by washing. Garnet grains, mostly smaller than 5 mm, are washed from Quaternary fluvial and colluvial deposits. Garnet grains of the best quality are deep purple, and this colour is caused by the presence of chromium oxides.
