The values are indicative of the stone type in the region and are not connected to certain quarries.
Due to the nature of the rock (cobbles), exact percentages cannot be given for the mineralogical composition as the content of each mineral differs from section to section along the rock outcrop. The minerals observed are antigorite, chrysotile (fibrous), calcite, dolomite, actinolite, talc, chlorite, tremolite (fibrous) and opaque metallic minerals (chromite, magnetite).
