Situated 12 km west of Kragujevac.
Carbonate-silica veins and masses in altered serpentinite, not economically significant as magnesite deposit due to silica content well above 0.3%. The presence of a "onyx-like" banded sequence of carbonate (magnesite and dolomite) and silica (chalcedony, agate, rarely jasper and opalised serpentinite) enables the use of this material as a semi-precious gemstone.
