Apohyllite, natrolite and pectolite in basalt cavities (Gasser, 1913).
In more recent times, mordenite has been described in cavities of an altered basaltic tuff, similar to the one occurring at Armelle (Mori), that crops out below the road connecting Brentonico to Sorne (Masetto & Rocchetti, 1997).
