Outcrops of serpentinite, crossed by Alpine metamorphic veinlets with fibrous tremolite, chrysotile and forsterite, in the area of La Colletta, a saddle between La Gugliassa and Punta Barant.

Interesting is the presence of forsterite, in the form of yellow-brownish millimetric fibres, in association with crysotile.
