Puy Griou, Monts du Cantal, Cantal, Auvergne, France
2km approximately after the crossing of the tunnel of the Lioran, just before the village of Saint Jacques-des-Blats, to the right of the road (by coming from Murat) we perceive a dome trachyte and andésite, it's the Puy Griou.
Alfred Lacroix quotes the village of Les Chazes situated on the sides of Griou. In one of his volumes of "Minéralogie de la France et de ses colonies(~1890's), He speaks about an important deposit of Amethysts, in pyramid going crystals (4cm maximum), not far from the brook of Peyras Lucentas.
