Walker (1960) reported zeolites at several localities around Fáskrúðsfjörður including:

- At 2200 ft (0.67 km), 3.5 miles west of the head of the fjord (Fáskrúðsfjörður). In the stratigraphic unit, Graenavatn Porphyritic basalt group. Feldspar-porphyritic basalts.

- At 900 ft (0.27 km) in the corrie west of Mt. Digritindur, southwest of head of Fjord (Fáskrúðsfjörður). In a feldspar-porphyritic basalt.
