Boulders, and especially one of plurimetric size, of highly fractured metamorphic rocks (said to be mylonitic\mylonitized orthogneiss) lying along the SSE side of Pizzo Ferrè at an elevation of about 2100-2250 m asl. Collectible minerals are hosted by hydrothermal "alpine fissures" quite rich in carbonates. An in situ outcrop is said to have never been found (so far - 08/2020).
