Les Malines is a major deposit Pb-Zn-Ag deposit located in the Cévennes massif near Le Vigan. Several mines were very active since the Middle Age and the modern mining works, operated by the Peñarroya-Metaleurop company, shut down in 1991 after producing almost 1 million tons of metal. Les Malines became famous in the mineral collection world in the 1980's when the modern mine sections of Les Cèdres and La Sanguinède hit a succession of fantastic pockets with outstanding baryte balls or bournonite crystals, the two 'star' species of the deposit!
