"Between the upper reaches of the unnamed tributaries of the Zohar and Halamish wadis".

Morphologically, the type locality is a hill covered by dark-burned pyrometamorphic rocks, mainly represented by fine-grained massive
gehlenite-rich rocks (hornfelses) embedded in hydrothermally altered low-temperature rocks. Some of the collected samples contain coarse-grained fragments of paralava, in which mazorite was detected.
