Meta-ophiolite body in the Queyras Schiste lustrés complex.

Yellow to yellow-brown andradite crystals are found in serpentinite along the western slope above Lago Nero.



Note: Tour Réal/Tour Real is the Frenchisation of the local Occitan toponym Tor Ryàlh, occured prior 1713, when the upper Varaita Valley was part of Dauphiné. The Occitan word ryàlh indicates the deep scree gullies at the base of the bifid towerlike top of the mountain.
