Description
Clersanges mine, Saint-Pal-de-Senouire, France
During the early 20th century, the main vein of the Clersanges mine, which is hosted in the La Chaise-Dieu granite, was worked for fluorite and baryte. Unfortunately, all adits have since collapsed. It is difficult to find good examples from this locality, as many fluorites from this mine are often damaged with cleavages or have frosted surfaces due to the local geology.
