Richelle is a former municipality and currently a village in and a sub-municipality of the municipality of Visé. It was a separate municipality until the merger of municipalities in 1977.

Richelle is located at the top of a cliff overlooking the Meuse River. The village is at an altitude of approximately 120 meters above sea level, but a very small part of the territory of the village runs down to the Meuse, at this time at 60 meters above sea level.

The cliff itself was quarried for limestone to feed a number of local (now defunct) lime kilns. Several quarries were located between latitude 50.7122, longitude 5.6863 (in Argenteau), and latitude 50.7268, longitude 5.6943 (in Visé).

Note on destinezite and correct locality assignment (from https://www.mindat.org/mesg-609961.html):

"The locality where we found destinezite in the early seventies was in the vicinity of the 'Château d'Argenteau' ('Castle of Argenteau'), less than 1 km SW of the center of Richelle, that is almost in the middle between Richelle and Argenteau. I think it's very hard to determine if old destinezite specimens have to be attributed to 'Richelle' or 'Argenteau'. Attention: the locality SW of Richelle where destinezite was found should not be confused with finds of other rare phosphates in the old quarries NW of Richelle. That's kind of a different story."
(Rik Dillen)

Note on 'evansite' (from https://www.fluomin.org/uk/fiche.php?id=328 ):

"Rik Dillen and Axel Emmermann have shown (2021) that evansite samples from a deposit along a road in Richelle (Belgium) and presenting a globular crust facies on a schistose rock [...], sold for decades on Belgian mineral fairs with the label evansite, are in fact mainly made of calcite (see also Philippo, 2019). An analysis by Raman spectrometry on several points of a sample of this type in my collection unambiguously indicates the presence of calcium carbonate and not of evansite (aluminium phosphate). The fluorescence is also quite similar to that of many calcites."

"In some amateur collections, other samples of Richelle's evansite on a completely different matrix (breccia) also appear to be fluorescent as mentioned by Van Tassel in his paper [...], but their exact nature needs to be confirmed (green crandallite?). The morphology of the samples described by Van Tassel in the gray breccia of Argenteau (white to gray nodules not exceeding one millimeter but showing fluorescence in blue-white tints) still does not correspond to these samples. In the book 'Les minéraux de Belgique' (Mélon et al., 1976) evansite is not on the list of minerals from the locality of Richelle, but that of Argenteau (Philippo, 2019)."

"The fluorescence of real evansite samples from Belgium therefore remains to be studied."
