The "Collonges granite" is the northern part of a huge leucogranite dyke. Very fractured, it contains many veins of quartz and sometimes baryte, but unfortunately it only outcrops during construction work. Thus, a vein was cut by the D498 road deviation in 2008 and some specimens could be recovered during the excavation.
