(Steinbruch Rauschermühle, Niederkirchen, Rheinland-Pfalz, Deutschland)
Abandoned diabase quarry, now on the site of a nature reserve where collecting is strictly prohibited.
Located 1.5 km SSW of Niederkirchen.
Note:
Electron diffraction patterns showed one pectolite sample from Rauschermühle, Germany, that gave a pattern like of "parawollastonite". The name parapectolite is suggested by Muller.
Michael Fleischer according to Ima recommendation (1962) about parawollastonite, change the name parapectolite in pectolite-M2abc
