Anciennes mines de cuivre de Chessy
"(Coming from Lozanne). Northwest of Lyon on the D485 [sic, actually the D385]. Amphibole, dendrites, chessyite [= azurite] nodules, and cuprite on the dumps of the mines." [Belot, 1978]
The ore deposit of Chessy-les-Mines was mined for copper in the Middle Ages until 1875. It is a "stockwerk" mineralization with baryte, galena, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite hosted in altered soda-dacitic lavas near the Devonian Brévenne Rift. This orebody was covered by Triassic sediments (clay and sandstone), which were mineralized in turn by hydrothermal fluids during their deposit. Then, primary sulphides were oxidized (during the Eocene?), allowing the formation of secondary minerals of lead, zinc, and especially copper (azurite, cuprite, malachite, agardite, chrysocolla …). It is these secondary minerals that have built the celebrity of the Chessy mines, thanks to superb specimens of azurite (called here "chessylite") displayed in many collections today. This reputation has been built since 1811, when the miners opened the famous "Blue Mine", which contained many vugs of azurite. At the time of operation, engineers distinguished four different parts in the deposit:
- The "yellow mine": native ore (chalcopyrite and pyrite) in speckles or nodules in the dacites.
- The "black mine": reduced ore (tenorite, native copper) in black nodules in the altered dacites (contact dacites/Triassic).
- The "red mine": oxidized ore (cuprite, limonite) released into the red clay of the Lower Triassic.
- The "blue mine": highly oxidized ore (azurite, cuprite, malachite, and smithsonite) in clays and sandstones of the Middle and Upper Triassic.
Today, the mine is closed, but the dumps were bought by the Geological Club of l'Arbresle (Association Minéralogique de l'Arbresle Chessy-les-Mines (AMAC)), which conducts regular searches.
