Large forestry quarry opened in Precambrian siltstones and slates containing veins and large sheets of pyrite cubes to 5 mm, some sheets of crystals measuring nearly 1 m across collected in the early 1990s exhibited wonderful rainbow-like colours.
Iron-stained wavellite discs were collected from this quarry in 2008.
The quarry has been abandoned for many years and the pyritic portions of the slate are now very weathered.
