Name(s) in local language(s):

Cava presso Contrada Schiri, Monte Cengio, Cogollo del Cengio, Val d'Astico (Valdastico), Vicenza, Veneto, Italia

Abandoned brucite marble quarry.

This brucite marble, commercially known as pearl grey marble, is the product of contact metamorphism, originated from Cenozoic basaltic intrusions in Late Triassic dolostone (Dolomia Principale Formation).

Minerals can be found now in the long and steep dump only, because the former quarrying area is almost inaccessible.
