Monte Carmo di Loano (Giogo di Toirano), Toirano, Provincia di Savona, Liguria, Italia
Phosphate-bearing metaquartzites cropping out along the ridge Giogo di Toirano (807 m)-Bric Pagliarina (1213 m)-Monte Carmo di Loano (1389 m), which divides the basin of Varatello stream (Toirano municipality) to the south from the basin of Bormida di Millesimo (Bardineto municipality) to the north.
Lazulite is the most abundant phosphate, which appears as blue compact veins, grains, and coarse subhedral crystals embedded in quartzite matrix; intimately associated minerals are frequent apatite (as milky grains and prismatic crystals) and rare brazilianite and palermoite (as colourless microscopic grains). Furthermore, pale yellow grains of gorceixite included in lazulite have been rarely observed. Goyazite, which is almost never associated with lazulite, generally forms colourless to pale yellow pseudocubic crystals in association with prismatic quartz crystals inside small cavities of the host rock.
