The Quarry (or rather quarry complex) at Dahisar was remarkable for the quality and variety of its calcite specimens. Calcite occurs here in two generations, and forms scalenohedrons, combinations of scalenohedrons and rhombohedrons, and combinations of rhombohedrons and prisms. Among the rare (for Deccan basalts) species occurring here are pyrite, hematite, babingtonite, sphalerite, chalcopyrite, ferberite and goethite.
