Dževad Delić hammering calcite in a wooden trough at his workshop in Malešiči. He discusses crushing and selecting the fired stone, picking out some useable stone which is sharp to the touch and placing other, unuseable stone in a separate heap. Stone is rejected either bacause he sees that it is the wrong sort of stone or becasue it is insufficiently fired to make it crushable. Dževad's wife, from the rear, laments that it takes a lot of work to prepare the calcite in this way.
