I have been asked where exactly the quarry was located. Here are two maps from Google Earth that show the area of the quarry, about 2 miles (3 km) north of the Old City. You can click on each for a larger view.
General view. Note the highway to the east of the quarry is similar to the ancient route (known sometimes as the Central Ridge Route or the Road of the Patriarchs).
Closer view, which will be helpful if you’re in the neighborhood and want to see it yourself.
