PostPosted: May 05, 2007 09:09    Post subject: Epidote, Val di Viù  

Hello,
For some time I have had two specimens of epidote from Val di Viù in my collection. I have tried, but failed, to find an article on the minerals of this particular alpine location, which is near Aosta. Maybe the Rivista Mineralogica Italiana has covered this subject, but their website has no searchable index of published topics. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Hi Joan,

Thanks for your kind comments, we love to receive your visits on the Forum!

BTW, as you be Spanish speaker, why you don't register in the Spanish Forum too? We got a lot of interesting topics there, so if you be in you will receive one e-mail for each message published as you already receive by your register in the English Forum.

About val di Viù I already sent a message to Roberto Appiani, editor of the Rivista Mineralogica Italiana (and great photographer). He will probably help us.
I'm sure that Carles Curto also could help considering his encyclopedic bibliography.

Jordi

I have no notices about Val di Viu. We haven't samples from there on our collection.
Del Caldo (et alt.) in their Guida ai minerali, don't mention Val di Viu.
Maybe the Gruppo Mineralogico Piamontese could you help about the locality and its minerals.

Hi Joan,

Guido Mazzoleni an Italian geologist and active mineral collector, supplied some info about val di Viù. BTW, I assume that you can understand Italian language, that's why I publish the text in the Guido's language:

Val di Viù si tratta di una valle nelle Alpi Occidentali, tipica per la presenza di "rocce verdi" (ultramafiti metamorfiche) di tipo rodingitico, con le consuete mineralizzazioni a silicati di calcio come granato "hessonite", vesuvianite, epidoto

More infos coming from Guido Mazzoleni about val di Viù, always in Italian language.
If some one needs the translation of this text to English language just send a note to the Forum and I will do the translation.

Jordi

Le epidoto e probabilmente trovato in una zona ben nota ai collezionisti in val di Viù: il Lago Falin. La Val di Viù si trova in provincia di Torino, immediatamente a Sud della valle più famosa per i campioni di granato, epidoto, vesuvianite, diopside ed altre specie delle rodingiti: la Val d'Ala. Il piccolo abitato di Usseglio era inoltre famoso per una mineralizzazione di cobalto, anticamente oggetto di estrazione.

Credo ci siano certamente dei riferimenti o degli articoli sulla Rivista Mineralogica Italiana. Inoltre so che sta per uscire o è appena uscito un libro sulla mineralogia del Piemonte, dopo quello dedicato alla Provincia di Cuneo (che si trova a Sud di quella di Torino), scritto dallo stesso autore (G. Piccoli).
