Bou Beker is part of the historic Touissit-Bou Beker mining district, near Morocco's border with Algeria. Mining began in the early 1900s, and the district became an important producer of lead and zinc.
Devilline is a rare copper sulfate mineral and is an uncommon find compared with the better-known minerals from the district. Specimens from Bou Beker are of interest because they represent one of the more unusual minerals produced by this Moroccan mining area.
