Cizlakit
Cizlakit (or Čizlakit) is the regional name of an igneous rock that occurs in the Pohorje massif and was temporarily mined as green stone in a quarry . According to Wasili Nikitin, it is a gabbroid rock .
The name comes from the location of Cezlak in the municipality of Slovenska Bistrica on the Pohorje Mountains in Slovenia , four kilometers north of the village of Oplotnica at an altitude of about 640 m, where its abandoned mining site is today.
Cizlakit is a solid, green-gray rock that was used after 1900 for building purposes and especially for tombstones. Its color comes mainly from the mineral augite it contains . It is criss-crossed by white aplitic corridors. Its occurrence is considered a special geological outcrop beyond Slovenia and is located in the eastern section of the Periadriatic Zone .
