A quartz vein located north of Marvejols, under the railway. Discovered in 1912, it was mined for lead and silver by 4 adits until 1936 but only 75 tons of lead were worked out. Today, all adits are closed but this deposit is still very famous for its secundary minerals especially the stolzite which was abundant and well formed! During the operation, the stolzite was embarrassing for miners and they discharge it into dumps!
