This locality is one of the ~40 β€œgenetically” sub-localities (*) (revealed and/or summarized in Cuchet and al. (2022)) of the giant alpine rare-earth mineralization - with its topographical extension of ~ 20x45 km, in Switzerland and Italy - situated into one precise level of gneiss of the Monte Leone nappe.

This locality is made of mineralized boulders fallen from the cliffs south of point 2873 m.
