The islands are divided, both geographically and administratively, into two groups:

- Windward Islands (Îles du Vent)
- Leeward Islands (Îles Sous-le-Vent)

The archipelago comprises 9 volcanic islands, together with several atolls and a number of associated seamounts.

The Society archipelago is a hotspot volcanic chain. The chain is oriented along the N. 65° W. direction, parallel to the movement of the Pacific Plate. Due to the plate movement over the Society hotspot, the age of the islands decreases from 5 Ma at Maupiti to 0 Ma at Mehetia, where Mehetia is the inferred current location of the hotspot as evidenced by recent seismic activity. Maupiti, the oldest island in the chain, is a highly eroded shield volcano with at least 12 thin lava flows, which accumulated fairly rapidly between 4.79 and 4.05 Ma. Bora Bora is another highly eroded shield volcano consisting of basaltic lavas accumulated between 3.83 and 3.1 Ma. Post-shield dikes intersect the lavas. Tahaʻa consists of shield-stage basalt with an age of 3.39 Ma, followed by additional eruptions 1.2 Ma later. Raiatea consists of shield-stage basalt followed by post-shield trachytic lava flows, all occurring from 2.75 to 2.29 Ma. Huahine consists of two coalesced basalt shield volcanoes, Huahine Nui and Huahine Iti, with several flows followed by post-shield trachyphonolitic lava domes from 3.08 to 2.06 Ma. Moʻorea consists of at least 16 flows of shield-stage basalt and post-shield lavas from 2.15 to 1.36 Ma. Tahiti consists of two basalt shield volcanoes, Tahiti Nui and Tahiti Iti, with an age range of 1.67 to 0.25 Ma.

Formula: Na3Ca(Si3Al3)O12(SO4)
Description: Local mineral collectors from Tahiti Island, and French geologists who travelled to area, report that there is no way to find any haüyne on the Taiarapu beach at Teahupoo on the West coast of the Taiarupu volcano and more generally, no way to find haüyne on Taiarapu West. The confusion comes from the name of the beach near Teahupoo, Taiarapu beach which is the same as the whole presqu’île. All finds and samples come from the East coast of the Taiarupu volcano, in several valleys between Tautira and Pueu and also on the beach of Tautira.

Geochronology

Mineralization age: Pliocene : 4.61 ± 0.05 Ma to 4.52 ± 0.05 Ma

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
