Contrada Lovati, San Rocco di Tretto (San Rocco), Tretto, Schio, Provincia di Vicenza (Vicentino), Veneto, Italia

Middle Triassic porphyritic basalts.

The mineral locality is reachable from Contrada Gonzati, continuing on the road for 1 kilometre until the sign indicating Contrada Lovati. Then, enter in the wood, starting from a small retaining wall along the road, and reach a three-metre-high wall of porphyritic basalt, in which mineralised calcite veins are embedded.

Heulandite-Ca and stilbite-Ca are the most common zeolites from this locality. Heulandite-K is also present, but it is indistinguishable from the calcium-dominant one without analysis.
