Best localities for fluorescence (*):
- Johachido district, Kankyo Prefecture, Korea ((Johachidolite was named for the Japanese colonial-era name for the type locality see MINDAT);
- Sangpal-tong, Changbaeng-myon, Kilchu-gun, North Hamgyong Province, North Korea (actual name of the type locality, bright blue SW+LW);
