About This Dive Spot
Kaatialan Luohos is situated in Kuortane Lentilä, close to the Alavus and Kuortane border. This site was historically an open pit quarry where feldspar and quartz were extracted from 1942 to 1968. The quarry is notable for being the location where the first Kaatiaite mineral was discovered. Although quarrying has ceased, collectors can still find gemstones among the remnants in the waste piles. The site provides a unique opportunity for those interested in mineral collection.
