Cololite is a Sideritic-Coprolite from Madagascar that is formed by a Siderite cast of the intestines of ancient reptiles or turtles. Cololite is often covered in Limonite.
Mahajanga, located in the Boeny Region on Madagascar’s northwest coast, is a key locality for collectors seeking rare and high-quality mineral specimens from this geologically diverse area. The region is known for producing notable finds of gemstones and metallic minerals, including vibrant examples of quartz, feldspar, and occasionally tourmaline and beryl. Its tropical savanna climate and varied lithology contribute to the formation of unique mineral assemblages that are highly prized in the international collector community. Today, Mahajanga remains a relevant and active source for exceptional specimens that showcase Madagascar’s rich mineralogical heritage.
