The former quarry and the surrounding forest area have been protected since 1981 as the "Biesak-Białogon" nature reserve. The sandstones quarried here were used to produce paving stones that decorated many streets in Kielce. Thanks to mining works, a profile of rocks of marine origin was uncovered, representing two periods in the history of the Earth: Cambrian and Ordovician. Fossilized deposits of the Cambrian sea, over 500 million years old, are the oldest rocks visible in the reserve. Ordovician sandstones are younger than them and are approximately 480 million years old. They include inserts of greenish, soft rocks called bentonites - fossilized marine sediment mixed with volcanic ash. In the northern wall of the quarry there is also a fragment of the profile in which older (Cambrian) rocks lie on younger (Ordovician) rocks. This, in turn, is a record of ancient orogenic movements that led to the shift and inversion of the arrangement of rock layers. The landscape value of the reserve is emphasized by a small lake filling the excavation of a former quarry.
