Coulées de lave basaltiques, Vallée de Reyran, Fréjus, Var, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France
Several lava flows in the Reyran valley, at the south of the Malpasset site, and in the north of the city of Frejus. Lava often contains mineralised vugs.
Richest spot is seated in the west of the lava flows, at the place where the highway cuts the outcrop. The synchysite-(Ce) was found near the Reyran river.
Confusion must not be done with the formations containing the "lithophyses" (particulary well colorated chalcedony). Althought they can be found in the same geographical area, the context is different (rhyolitic lava flows) - see attached geolocical map http://www.mindat.org/photo-577889.html
Série de coulées basaltiques dans la basse vallée du Reyran, en aval du site de Malpasset. Les bulles du basalte sont fréquemment minéralisées.
Le spot le plus riche est situé dans la coulée entaillée par l'autoroute A8, 500 mètres au nord de péage de Fréjus. Les travaux de construction, puis d'élargissement de l'autoroute ont permis la découvertes de nombreuses bulles.
