With its rich parageneses, the Carlés Mine was, during its active years, yielding a great variety of mineral species, with a predominance of piroxenes. This piece is such a specimen, with Ferro-actinolite in brilliant crystals, the 'uralite' pseudomorphing pyroxenes and a Plagioclase Feldspar which, together with massive Pyrite, completes the combo.
