Cava di Contrada Bosco, Giazza, Selva di Progno, Provincia di Verona, Veneto, Italia
Brucite marble quarry, abandoned since 1975, at Contrada Bosco on the left of the road connecting Giazza to Rifugio Revolto.
This brucite marble, commercially known as pearl grey marble, is the product of contact metamorphism, originated from Cenozoic basaltic intrusions in Late Triassic dolostone (Dolomia Principale Formation).
Due to the absence of dumps, minerals can be recovered with great difficulty from the quarry face.
