Baryte deposition due to post-oligocene thermal spring activity.
Located west of Saint-Sandoux, northeast of Olloix and south of Saint-Saturnin. On labels, the locality is often attributed to one of the former villages.

The site is a private property and the owner doesn't gives any access as he exploits the vein a few weeks each year.
There's a lot of 'Propriété Privée - Entrée Interdite' (private property - access not authorized) signs all around the site.
