Secteur de Saint-Pons, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Two mineralized outcrops, NNE of Saint-Pons village:
- On left bank of Saint-Pons torrent, on west side of La Farière crest
- On east side of La Farière crest, in La Valette torrent ravine
Siderite lenses inter-stratified in Callovian-Oxfordian malm of the "Black Earth" (literal translation of a french appellation, synonym of "badlands") formation.
Centimetric chalcostibite crystals in siderite vugs.
Numerous acicular crystals of dadsonite in black calcite.
Numerous fibrous sulfosalts might be misidentified:
- shiny, silver-grey to white, striated needles are zinkenite
- black acicular crystals, in satiny to dull groups, sometimes quite reticulated, are boulangerite
- very thin black acicular crystals, flexible & muddled can be considered as dadsonite, although only an analysis can definitely determine the species.
