Name(s) in local language(s):
Pedreres de Gualba
Skarn due to contact metamorphism of Hercynian granodiorite and biotite granite into Cambrian marbles. Primary Fe-Cu-Mo-Pb-Zn sulfides and oxides accompanied by hydrous and anhydrous calc-silicates.
Several quarries and subterranean galleries wich extract carbonates for industrial use are distributed along the two sides of Gualba river, about 10 km north of the town of Sant Celoni.
