The locality of the "North Korean moonstone", which is known before the WWII by the Japanese geologists. Previously registered as "Kilju county", however, the original locality described in the "Minerals of Korea"(1941) is currently located in Jaedok mountain, which stands on the boundary between Myongchon and Myonggan county.
Blue gemmy opalescent "moonstone" from here is anorthoclase feldspar.
