Madagascar locality help required

I recently purchased a specimen labelled "Limonite after Pyrite, Darainia, Madagascar", which I think is a misprint of Daraina. However, this locality is not listed on Mindat. Has anyone here come across minerals from Darainia/Daraina, or can suggest an alternative locality for such a specimen?

Many thanks

David

Daraina is located in near Vohemar. This is bigger village around which is a lot of localities - some of them really far in the mountains.

Hi David,

The most "famous" Daraina in Mada is located, as said Tomasz, in Sava region between Ambilobe and Vohemar, known espacially for gold, epidote and sphene deposits all around. But you have few villages in Diana and Sava regions (north of Mada) named Daraina. I think that Tomasz pointed the right one.

Possibly your specimen comes from Matsaborivaky area, known for massive epidote crystals (up to 25kg+), and from where I've seen few pyrite specimens.

I don't see another locality "around" this Daraina where pyrite occurs. But could be some.

Hope this help, not 100% sure.
