Locke Quarry

Just outside Locke within the Gert region of the continent of Malnax, is The Locke Quarry. It is a quarry that had been created years ago, once a very successful open-pit mining operation of diamonds now all that is found is Bloodstone and black Tourmaline.

The deep mines are now too dangerous and seem to hold only coal.

A quarry is a type of open-pit mine in which dimension stone, rock, construction aggregate, riprap, sand, gravel, or slate is excavated from the ground.

Geography

Blood spilt into the tree roots and soil. The Quarry failed to collect any more diamonds - however cursed bloodstones and black Tourmaline stone.

Natural Resources

Bloodstone

is a variety of chalcedony, which is cryptocrystalline quartz. When it is green, the colour comes from chlorite particles, dotted with bright, distinctive red spots of iron oxide that resemble blood, hence its name. The stone is a symbol of justice.

Tourmaline

is the name of a large group of boron silicate minerals. These minerals share a common crystal structure and similar physical properties - but vary tremendously.
Colour: Black is the most common colour.
