A quarry open in the south part of La Capelle-Bleys leucogranite massif.
Cracks and little quartz veins (very thin, less than 1 cm wide) were filled by an interesting phosphate minerals suite.
Second worldwide known locality for kapundaite (Gayraud et al., 2011; material was XRD-analysed by Stuart Mills, Nov. 2010).
