Köppen climate type:
Septarian concretions exposed in old coal strip mines around Lovilia (all of which are on private property, and many now reclaimed) may contain lustrous acicular-prismatic crystals of goethite, light smoky quartz in lustrous, equant crystals, and other minerals.
The town of Lovilia is located in Monroe County but is close to the point where Monroe, Mahaska, and Marion counties meet. Therefore the "Lovilia area" encompasses parts of the adjacent counties as well.
