Sakoany deposit
Katsepy Commune, Mitsinjo District, Boeny, Madagascar
A famous deposit for fine specimens of quality celestine (also known as celestite).
Showing the single result
Digging here has been done since the 60s, and the area is covered in small diggings and pits for the mineral.
This locale produces a huge amount of excellent druzy and geodes which are sold around the world.
I highly recommend reading the document entitled ‘The Sakoany celestine deposit: Mahajanga Province, Madagascar’ for a good writeup on the site.
