Bouillé


Baryte and fluorite vein located in the Odenas granite formation. The vein is oriented N 130° E, about 0.5 to 1.5 m thick (locally up to 3 m) and subvertical. The vein extends several hundred meters, but only 200 m have been recognised during the workings.

Worked before 1914, only the baryte seems to have been exploited, although the fluorite was as abundant as baryte.
