*Eighteen (only during and after the quest "Boethiah's Calling") veins are in Knifepoint Mine, which can be found at the Knifepoint Ridge bandit camp northwest of Cracked Tusk Keep.
*Roughly fourteen veins throughout Blackreach; some are also labeled as a "geode vein."
*Four in Goldenrock Mine at Darkwater Crossing, west of Mistwatch.

The Shrine of Talos is due east of the apiary at Lakeview Manor. The veins are on top of the mountain behind the Shrine, directly south of the guardian stones. From the guardian stones head east along the path. It will switch back to the west continue to follow until the fork and take the left turn. There will be a sign for town directions and immediately beyond that a small rock pile. There is a natural path to the right of the rock pile continue to follow that. There will be a fallen tree to the right running alongside the path and a stump immediately beyond that. Between the stump and the rock to the left of the tree stump will be a couple rock outcroppings with a lone tree. Directly towards the tree and just beyond that will be the ore deposits.
