Traignac Brook serpentinite outcrops, Saint-Cirgues, Lavoûte-Chilhac, Haute-Loire, Auvergne, France

Lenses of serpentinites located 1 kilometer W of Traignac and 500 meters S of Promeyrat, on both banks of the Traignac Brook (Leyvaux Brook). The serpentinite lenses are included in biotite leptynites and amphibolites, with numerous crosscuting granite/pegmatite veins. The main serpentinite lens, on the left bank, contains veins of silica-poor corundum-bearing plagioclasites (plumasites).
