A hill with an elevation of 947 m, which is crowned by a huge sterile very pure milky quartz vein (with some vugs filled by short crystals, sometimes hematoid). At the beginning of the path leading to the top of the hill, small quartz veins carrying either pitchblende or sulphidic ores cross the path. In the vicinity, gossan fragments are scattered. Located about 4 km SSE of Lachaux.
