This stone, with its fine grain and delicate pink color, is a peculiarity of Saint Gernain: it is sandstone, the rock that outcrops at the site of "Les Carriers," where it forms a hill overlooking the wide cone of fluvioglacial ejecta from the Ognon. Indeed, the former ice ages caused the extensive deposits of alluvial soil that covered virtually the entire territory of Saint Germain and the neighboring communes. A succession of layers of different materials, mixed with varying degrees of clay, explains the numerous springs, streams, and wetlands. Humans have exploited this abundance of water: here by drainage, there by retaining the water for ponds or for use as washing places.
