Description To an extensive collection of millstones from the medieval water mill at Mstěnice (western Moravia) have been added next six artefacts in 2005. These were made of both conglomerates to arcositic sandstones of Permian age and Hercynian durbachites (mafic hornblende - biotite syenites to granites). The provenience of Permian rocks is necessary to suppose in the Boskovice Graben, the durbachites were transported from the Třebíč massif.
