The White Hillock/Butte (Tony) Il-Qolla l-Bajda is found between Xwejni Bay (Ix-Xwejni) and Qbajjar Bay (IL-Bajja Tal-Qbajjar). Il-Qolla il-Bajda is called the White Hillock as it is formed out of varying light gray clay with a pale yellow sandstone top. This Qolla has the classic Maltese "hill top" shape with a slab of material on its top. It is like a smaller (earlier) version of them but formed from a different material, or, what the larger hills are built around? Xwejni Bay and Beach is great place to spend a day. You have restaurants close by and a good beach (for Malta and Gozo) that is not just a sandstone outcrop. The rocky beach is covered with interesting stones, these are multicoloured. Where in a limestone/sandstone island do all these stones come from and why do so many of them have a mixture of materials? From Il-Qolla il-Bajda you can visit the Xwejni Battery (Qolla il-Bajda Battery) and across the Qbajjar Bay you can view the stunning il-Qolla s-Safra The White Butte The White Mound itself is made of different layers and is distinclty different to the area around it. The top section of Il-Qolla Bajda is in 2 parts, one created of stones or nodular clay in layered bands and resting on top of this is the what seems to be a very pale yellow sandstone. This top slab is larger than the "stoney" layer below it. The sandstone may merge into the white clay due to it being stopped during its transormation. Any old iron? In the sides of the Xwejni Qolla can be found large nodules, made of iron and different coloured clays. They vary in size and shape but most are fairly round. The insides of these vary, most are grey clay but you can sometimes find tiny black stones/flakes and crystals. The sandstone layers that the Qolla has formed on also contain ironstones, these can be seen sticking out of the rock. Some are in iron bar shapes but most are rough iron stones. Iron rods are one of the worlds mysteries, appearing protruding out of temples in India and places in China. Some maybe man made but others appear natural. There are no natural mineral deposits on Malta yet iron is found everywhere. Especially where there is suspected Electric Universe activity. The haven of hillocks The whole area and especially the Xwejni inlet shows EU activity. There may be "baby" versions of Il-Qolla il-Bajda very close by on the Xwejni beach.
