The greatest natural resources of Busko-Zdrój – mineral waters – came into being about half a billion years ago. Withdrawing Miocene Sea left behind enormous deposits of gypsum. Gypsum dissolution led to sulphur forming. The valley of the resort in Busko is surrounded on three sides by chalky calcareous hills and by gypsum bed on the west side. It all causes that underground water even at slight depth contains a lot of mineral salt and sulphur.
