Steinbruch Thomas, Waschenbach, Mühltal, Landkreis Darmstadt-Dieburg, Regierungsbezirk Darmstadt, Hessen, Deutschland
Abandoned diorite quarry, cut by a barite-calcite vein including copper and silver ores.
Located near Waschenbach and about 2.5 km SSE of Nieder-Ramstadt.
The separation of the site into the Emmertsberg quarry and the Thomas quarry is probably misleading. The Thomas family ran a quarry on the eastern outskirts of Waschenbach (in the "Geberstadt") until 1955. This was shut down due to problems and rebuilt approx. 1 km south on Emmertsberg. It would therefore have to be clarified whether the Thomas Quarry listed is the old quarry on the outskirts of the town or (more likely) the new one to the south and only a double naming for the same quarry
