Kaye (1953):
The walls of a tunnel connecting the Rio Yauco and the Rio Loco, not far from the town of Yauco, Puerto Rico. This tunnel is part of the Southwestern Puerto Rico Project of the Puerto Rico Water Resources Authority. The xonotlite occurs approximately 2,000 feet from the outlet portal of the tunnel on the Rio Loco, at the contact of a large serpentine massif and a metavolcanic rock. The mineral was also identified at the surface outcrop of the contact about 150 feet above the tunnel.
