Near the eastern border of Finland, we find
the stone region of Ylämaa, traditionally
known for the spectrolite found there.
Brown viborgite, which is quarried in the
region and sold as dimensional stone under
the trade name Baltic Brown, is well-known
around the world. Palin Granit Oy has two
brown stone quarries in Ylämaa, located in
the villages of Lahnajärvi and Hujakkala, and
one quarry in the municipality of Miehikkälä.
