Poręba (erroneously as Poremba) is a first heulandite occurrence known from Poland, described by German geologist Georg Gottlieb Pusch 1790-1846 (in Poland know as Jerzy Bogumił Pusz). Named according to the A.G. Werner (1804) as "Blätterzeolith" (leafy zeolite).

Pusch G.G. (1833):
"The hills in the forest between Poremba and Zalas consist of a melaphyre, with vesicles filled with red, clearly crystallized stilbit (leafy zeolite W.); each such zeolite almond is framed with a haul of beautiful chip- or apple-green soapstone. But what makes this amygdaloid stone extremely interesting is the chemical content of zinc that is distributed in it. If, like Calamine is oxidized and subjected to distillation, it gives 2 to 5, in individual batches 10-12% metallic zinc."

Description "between Poremba and Zalas" is probably wrong, according to the geological map, there is not Permian volcanism related rocks occurance between this 2 villages, but only west and south-west from Poręba-Żegoty and also around Zalas.
