After the zone" locker room" it is possible to observe a slant. This stretch of the gallery has been maintained in the original state.
The miners, to go up the slant used the railroad sleepers and didn't have any side support to lean on. On the right of the slant it is possible to observe the marble seam (which is always found in near the talc).This unusual coupling constitutes the evidence of what is considered, by the most part of the experts, the origin of this layer of talc: transformation of native sea sediments partly naturally evolved into marble and partly into talc.
