The magnetic pseudo-hexagonal and pseudo-octahedral epidotes are from this locality and described in:http://www.mindat.org/article.php/1770/Epidote+from+the+Zard+Mountains%2C+Kharan%2C+Balochistan%2C+Pakistan
Previously wrongly attributed by secretive sellers to "Zard Mt" or Quetta/Quetta District orDalbandin) orNausherwani mine.

Here's a video of collecting octahedral epidotes:

Maldeen is a small populated area near where these epidotes are found on Maldin Koh (ridge). (See:http://www.mindat.org/forum.php?read,6,300350,300601#msg-300601 )
