Occurrence and Distribution of Pectolite: Pectolite is primarily found in metamorphic and igneous environments. It commonly occurs in hydrothermal veins associated with volcanic activity, as well as in contact metamorphic zones where hot magma comes into contact with pre-existing rocks. It can also be found in sedimentary deposits formed from the weathering and erosion of pectolite-bearing rocks. Pectolite has been discovered in various locations around the world. One of the most famous and significant occurrences of pectolite is in the Dominican Republic, where a blue variety of pectolite called Larimar is found. Larimar is highly valued for its unique blue coloration and is used in jewelry and decorative items. Other notable sources of pectolite include Canada, the United States, Italy, Germany, Russia, and South Africa.
