Antanimenabe is an area between the village of Iheninkenina in the south and the Manandona River in the north.
Specimens of tremolite pseudomorphs after diopside crystals has been found here in a dolomitic marble.
Ungemach (1916) described crystals of "diopside" (in fact tremolite pseudomorphs after diopside) from a locality near Ihenikenina, on the path ( 1914) to Antandrokomby.
Pegmatite minerals has been found in the elluvial material weathered off a pegmatite nearby.
