François Alluaud (21 September 1778, Limoges – 18 February 1866, Limoges) was a French manufacturer of Limoges porcelain, geologist and mineralogist. He was the grandfather of entomologist Charles Alluaud (1861–1949). Following the death of his father in 1799, who was also named François Alluaud, he took over ownership of the family porcelain factory in Limoges. The company operated its own quarries; a feldspar mine at Chanteloube and a kaolin quarry at Marcognac.〔(Marks and Monograms on Pottery and Porcelain ) by William Chaffers〕 He was among the first to study the mineralogy and geology of the Limousin region of France. His interest in geology began by way of investigations of kaolin deposits, the key raw material in the manufacture of porcelain. He was founder-president of the ''Société archéologique et historique du Limousin'' (1845), and in 1860, was appointed president of the ''Société d'agriculture, des sciences et des arts de la Haute-Vienne''. He also had an interest in politics, being involved in the July Revolution of 1830 and subsequently serving as mayor of Limoges and as prefect of Haute-Vienne.〔(Prosopo ) Sociétés savantes de France〕 He was the first to describe the minerals hureaulite (1825) and heterosite (1826). In 1847 Alexis Damour named the mineral alluaudite in his honor.〔(Mindat.org ) Alluaudite〕 == Publications == * ''Mémoire sur la minéralogie et sur l’exploitation des mines de la Haute-Vienne'', 1809. – Memoir on mineralogy and mining of Haute-Vienne. * ''Essai historique sur M.
