Photo: Georges BRET Skeleton quartz occurrences.
Also some small, poorly mineralised septarian nodules near Allos village.
NOTE: Finds on nice baryte crystals in septarian nodules have been erroneously attributed to this locality (see
http://www.mindat.org/mesg-11-106323.html). In fact, they come from the La Sapée locality (Col du Défend, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence).
