Hexagonal prisms of aragonite, often twinned, up to several centimetres are found in Triassic marls and clays outcrops around the village of Molina de Aragón. Local name: 'torrecillas' ('little towers').
Werner (1796) described the species with samples coming from Molina de Aragón. He wrongly attributed the village to the region of Aragón, although it actually belonged to what today is the province of Guadalajara in Castile-La Mancha (Castilla-La Mancha), Spain.
The Gallo is a river in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula, a right-bank tributary of the Tagus. It joins the Tagus in the latter's upper course.
It has its source in the Sierra del Tremedal, close to the municipality of Orihuela del Tremedal (province of Teruel). It has a length of 85 km. The river bends to the north in the settlement of Orihuela del Tremedal, and it enters the province of Guadalajara.
It discharges into the Tagus near the San Pedro Bridge.
