Mindat Locality ID:

440681

Long-form identifier:

mindat:1:2:440681:8

GUID (UUID V4):

This locality is one of the ~40 “genetically” sub-localities (*) (revealed and/or summarized in Cuchet and al. (2022)) of the giant alpine rare-earth mineralization - with its topographical extension of ~ 20x45 km, in Switzerland and Italy - situated into one precise level of gneiss of the Monte Leone nappe.

This locality is made of sparse mineralized boulders fallen from the cliffs. The mineralisation can also be reached in the cliffs on the side of the pass.
