Worked from as early as the 1830s for antimony, but soon after shifted to fluorite extraction until 1977. Many interesting, diverse and multicoloured fluorite specimens have been uncovered since, from green to yellow to blue, and oftentimes a combination of colours. “The finest fluorite specimens of Haute-Loire come from this famous deposit.” – Mindat
