Name(s) in local language(s):
Triolet, Val Ferret, Massiccio delle Les Grandes Jorasses, Courmayeur, Valle d'Aosta, Italia
It is one of the classical localities of the Italian side of Mont Blanc.
Alpine fissures hosting smoky quartz and other minerals are cut into the Mont Blanc granite ( an orthogneiss as a matter of fact).
It became popular during the 70s to 90s for red Titanite crystals and microcrystals of Anatase,y-Aeschynite with minor Synchisite and Brookite, found even at lesser elevations into boulders fallen down from the high cliffs or transported by the glacier.
It is a wide area virtually extended to the whole secondary valley, therefore the provided coordinates represent a sort of baricenter.
