Description
The Bierghes quarry is located in the province of Brabant Wallon, 20 km east of Lessines and 30 km west of Brussels.
The rock quarried at Bierghes is a plutonic magmatic rock, from which superb quartz with a variety of facies has been extracted. In contrast to the rather young alpine quartz, these crystals are over 300 million years old.
Large biterminated quartz with one end recrystallized, very fine Belgian mineralogy.
