Базальтові стовпи с.Жборівці

We were with a friend today near the andesite-basalt pillars (village Kolchyno-Klenovets, Mukachevo district, Transcarpathia). Geologist Eric Lazarenko from Lviv also wrote about them. Photos do not convey the impressions you get when you look at this natural work. The average chemical composition of basalt according to R. Delhi (%): SiO2 - 49.06; TiO2 - 1.36; Al2O3 - 15.70; Fe2O3 - 5.38; FeO - 6.37; MgO - 6.17; CaO - 8.95; Na2O - 3.11; K2O - 1.52; MnO - 0.31; P2O5 - 0.45; H2O - 1.62. Andesite: SiO2 56-64%, TiO2 0.5-0.7%, Al2O3 16-21%, Fe2O3 3-4%, FeO 3-5%, MgO 3-4%, CaO 6-7%, Na2O 2 -4%, K2O 1-2%

Basalt pillars are a unique work of nature that appears after a volcanic eruption. The lava cools, decreases in size and is covered with even cracks. Very interesting and beautiful education that comes to the surface. Incredible spectacle. Located in an accessible location by the road

What a miracle of nature! We came across this place by chance, we were pleasantly surprised☺

Visited here today. Close up is a very impressive natural andesitic-basaltic formation.

A unique natural monument! Will please nature lovers ...
