Allchar deposit (alternative spellings Alsar deposit, Alšar deposit or Alshar deposit[1]) is a low-temperature hydrothermal gold–arsenic–antimony–thallium deposit in Kavadarci Municipality of North Macedonia. For some time, the thallium-rich part of the deposit was mined. The Crven Dol mine yielded thallium and the ore body still holds estimated amount of 500 t of thallium. The mineral lorandite from this ore deposit can be used to determine the solar neutrino flux.[2][3][1]
"Mineral collecting at Allchar is only allowed with permission from the University of Skopje. The area will be declared a protected site. In about 2010, several collectors without this permit were arrested by police."[4]
