Geology

Short characteristics of the site: Svratka Crystalline. Old abandoned quarry. Metagranites were exploited there. They exhibit different stages of tectonic deformation. In boudins relics of granitic texture can be seen. These boudins are rimmed with mylonites and ultramylonites. Veins of coarse grained pegmatites are also preserved.
