It is located in the northwest part of Cluj County, at the exit from Leghia village to Aghireşu and covers an area of 1 ha.
Until it became a protected area in 2000, the Leghia Gypsums were in surface mining for decades, in order to serve at the manufacture of various items: vases, inkpots, ashtrays, etc.
