Huge quartz-chalcedony-hematite dyke (120 meters thick) named Faymont's Dyke, direction SW-NE.
It is an accident separating Val d'Ajol's gneiss and Permian formations in the south-east and the middle Vosges granite in the north-west.
In the "Bois de la Vèche" tectonized sector, there are more or less mylonitised cataclastics.
This dyke has numerous brecciation phases and fluorite and baryte mineralizations.
The first major tectonic phase was essentially silicified with chalcedony, the second most important is a quartz and baryte filling, and the last one was minor with quartz recristallization.
