Coordinates are for Dédestapolcsány town center.
Geology: Carboniferous dark gray shale, shale, and sandstone occur in the Rágyincs Valley, accompanied by several meters of yellowish-white, phosphate-bearing slope debris. During uranium research, various types of phosphates were determined from the slope debris (mainly kingite), some of which (e.g. koninckite, evansite) have not yet been confirmed due to the lack of appropriate instrumental tests. In 1997, Sándor Klaj found another mineral assemblage in the dark shale next to the trenches, from which the first Hungarian vanadate, volborthite, was determined. Without in-depth tests, many spectacular minerals found there cannot yet be identified.
Description: The site can be accessed from Dédestapolcsány, starting from the car park of the Láz-bérc reservoir, to the research trenches on the other side of the winding stream in the Rágyincs valley. The phosphatic slope debris was discovered during the uranium exploration in 1973 (on the other side of the stream, 8-10 meter long, already heavily collapsed ditches were created), the black slate is found in the rock blocks standing behind the ditches, as well as in the stream bed.
In and around the streambed are huge boulders interlaced with quartzite, containing crystalline quartz (up to 2 cm), as well as clinochlore and goethite. Crystalline calcite also occurs in the alluvial material of the stream.
