Description
Valzergues, Aveyron, France
The Valzergues mine is a famous fluorite deposit in Aveyron, Occitanie, France, beloved among mineral collectors for its rich orange-yellow cubic crystals with blue and purple zonings. Initially discovered in 1926 by prospector Victor Lassalle, it was operated intermittently until its closure in 1970. Etienne Guillou-Gotkovsky’s 1999 monograph, La Mine de Fluorine de Valzergues covers detailed historical and mineralogical documentation of this iconic locality.
