A zeolite and prehnite occurrence.
The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (see links below) offers 2 possible localities with the following GPS coordinates:
32° 03' 00" N, 5° 30' 00" W ("Takkat n' Sountat Gorge");
32° 06' 36" N, 5° 33' 36" W ("Takkat n' Sountat Farm").
There is also a "Sountate Geosite" which is located "200 m at the eastern part of the road (R317), about 20 km south of Imilchil village." (Lagnaoui et al., 2016). The latter locality seems to be in the same general area as the 2 former localities.
On Mindat, the GPS coordinates for the farm are used.
