Silicocarnotite was found in a 1 cm thick andradite–gehlenite–pseudowollastonite paralava vein within gehlenite hornfels near the headwaters of a tributary of Wadi Zohar (31°11′10.6″ N, 35°16′29″ E) in the Hatrurim Basin, Israel. Within a 500 m radius of its occurrence, other outcrops of gehlenite hornfels contain thin paralava veins in which two new minerals have been discovered: mazorite, Ba3(PO4)2, and fluoralforsite, Ba5(PO4)3F.
