Where: Continental · Europe · approx. 45.92, 6.87 (vicinity only)
Why this spot: Rockhounding locality: the Mont Blanc massif's fours a cristaux have supplied smoky quartz and rose fluorite since the 17th century, worked by the cristalliers of Chamonix
What turns up: eyes-only: smoky quartz, rose fluorite, axinite, epidote, siderite at the Musee des Cristaux
Access: Restricted.
Crystal collecting in the massif is regulated: French law vests minerals in the landowner, communes and reserves restrict removal and local rules require cristallier authorization; high-mountain sites also demand alpinist skills, so treat this as look-and-learn unless you join the local mineralogy club
