The only nickel ore mine in Poland was located here until 1984 when it was closed due to the depletion of the deposits. There was also a nickel foundry for processing mined ore. Excellent samples of chrysoprase were found in Szklary.[2] Quite recently, a new mineral szklaryite was named after the village.[3]
