It is an old abandoned talc mine, which was flooded by subterranean waters. The lake Talkov Kamien has the outlines of an irregular shaped polygon, whose greatest length diagonally reaches 60-70 m. The lake’s steep banks are of a greenish-white colour reaching 20-30 m above the level of the water. A rare pine forest covers the upper parts of the banks and hollows on the slopes. From the banks of the lake, especially on the northeast side, it is possible to pick up different types of rocks and minerals - “noble” talc of a whitish green colour, greenish talc schist with small crystals of dark dolomite and green chlorite schist with crystals of quartz. These days, the banks and their forests are a favourite place of relaxation for the inhabitants of Sysert and Ekaterinburg.
