Das Gestein besteht weitgehend aus Quarzit. Es ist über 380 Millionen Jahre alt und stammt aus dem Erdzeitalter des Devons.

Blockhalden sind natürliche Felsbildungen, die durch Verwitterungsvorgänge und Frosteinwirkungen entstanden sind. In den Eiszeiten waren die Böden dauerhaft gefroren. Dann tauten diese durch Sonneneinstrahlung wieder auf und über Nacht froren diese wieder zu. Dieser ständige klimatische Wechsel bewirkte einen Verwitterungsprozess, der für den Taunusquarzit im westlichen Hunsrück charakteristisch ist. Die abgesprengten Gesteine sammelten sich entweder in flacher geneigten Hanglagen oder am Hangfuß wieder an.
