Quarry in Tangihua volcanics (basalt, quartz porphyry, and pillow lavas). Aggregate quarry. Active.
Dodecahedron analcime is found with fine hair like masses of mordenite on top of heulandite. Apophyllite with chlorite and rarely zeolites, sometimes projecting from stilbite. Calcite found alone and with other zeolites. Dog tooth form the most common, and rarely pseudo-cubes. Chlorite by itself and sometimes with heulandite and/or apophyllite, as minute rosettes. Heulandite by itself and with other zeolites, nearly always as coffin shaped crystals. Mordenite as fine hair like masses on heulandite lined vugs, and rarely by itself. Stilbite, most commonly with calcite, rarely by itself, and with other zeolites. Large sheafs or single crystals, the latter cleaner.
