Rudice – Seč, Natural monument in Rudice, Czech Republic
The natural monument extends over 6.96 hectares within the protected landscape of Moravský Kras, featuring exposed rudické layers of Lower Cretaceous sediments.
The site operated as an active quarry for glass-making and foundry sands until 2018, when extraction activities gradually decreased and ceased completely.
The Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic maintains protection measures for this location, integrating it into a network of significant natural landmarks.
The natural monument contains several marked paths and information boards detailing the geological formations and local wildlife for educational purposes.
The quarry walls reveal geological organ pipes filled with kaolinic lateritic weathering products, containing crystals of quartz and occasional amethyst formations.
