This quarry produces different types of stone, including slate, but also sandstone.

It is operated by Nelles Frères, who runs it as a side business to its civil engineering business.

Actually, the company advertises mainly the sandstone, but when visiting the quarry, there is mostly evidence of slate quarrying (see pictures).

The site runs along the river Warche for about 500 meters.

The coordinates given are those of the main gate where the rocj with the name of the quarry is located.

The company Nelles Frères itself is located about five kilometers northerly.
