Lahošť, until 2006 Lahošt (German: Loosch) is a village and municipality (obec) in Teplice District in the Ústí nad Labem Region of the Czech Republic.

The municipality covers an area of 3.02 square kilometres (1.17 sq mi).

Lahošť lies approximately 4 kilometres (2 mi) west of Teplice, 20 km (12 mi) west of Ústí nad Labem, and 76 km (47 mi) north-west of Prague.

Fossils of an elasmosaurid plesiosaur were found near this city at the end of the 19th Century. In Hudcov, a nearby village, the plesiosaur Cimoliasaurus teplicensis was described in 1906 by Czech palaeontologist Antonín Frič.

Mesozoic quartzite quarry exploited since 1920. Located between Lahošť and Jeníkov.

NOTE: New extraction activity in part of the quarry, entrance without permission is prohibited!

Detailed Mineral List:

Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
Colour: deep orange
Description: From Moore (1990): The crystals, equant and blocky and very sharp, measure up to 3 cm across, and are scattered liberally over flat gray matrixes of a tough quartzite; the largest matrix on hand was about 12 cm across. The crystals are basically a deep orange, and near-gemmy, but a light frostedness on the faces makes them look brownish to gray from any distance. The find is about two years old; collecting is now proceeding, and there will be more of these aesthetically very appealing barites at the next Munich show and (presumably) thereafter.

Formula: CaCO3
Fluorite
Formula: CaF2
