1 vein located directly west of Falkreath. From the end of the stone fence on the right at the west exit for Falkreath, directly west until a rock is reached. Proceed to the right of the rock, directly west until the cliff. The vein is visible to the north, underneath a rock protrusion.
1 vein located almost directly south of Angi's Camp, in the mountains, almost at the edge of the playable area. Look for a small canyon in between two mountains.
1 vein in an unmarked location named Stormcloak Crag, directly south of Anga's Mill, southwest of Windhelm, in a crevice marked with a flagpole. (Same entry under Corundum Ore - directly south of Anga's Mill, southwest of Windhelm, in a crevice marked with a flagpole. Climb the mountain south of the mill until you come across an alcove with a Frost Troll in it. The crevice with both is south of the alcove below the flagpole.)
1 vein outside Darkshade, to the right of the cave entrance.
1 vein directly Northeast of Dawnstar on a very small island. Northeast of a large snow covered island.

1 vein in the spider's den after your swim underwater from the well in Forelhost Crypt.
1 vein going along the east wall outside of Whiterun by a small ruin with a chest, may have a dead guard nearby. About a quarter of the way between Whitewatch Tower and Battle-Born Farm.
