Ru?chi?a (Croatian: Ruica; Serbian: ?; Hungarian: Ruskica márvány; German: Ruschitza) is a reddish, pinkish or white marble found in Romania.[1] The marble deposit is located in the north of Cara?-Severin County, about 10 km northwest of the village of Rusca Montan?, in the Poiana Rusca Mountains.
Ru?chi?a marble mining was done in the shape of a turned-over bell between 1884 and 1960. Nowadays the extraction is made in descending horizontal slices.
