A sphalerite specimen from a little-known deposit in the Var, the Bormettes mine at La Londe-les-Maures. The Société des Mines des Bormettes exploited the deposit from around 1880 to 1929. The mine’s prosperity led to the construction of a railroad in 1899 to transport miners and ore to Argentière, where it was shipped by sea. Rare blende ore from this mine, for collectors specializing in this mineral or systematicians of the region.
