Hi Nathan,
It looks to me that the best reference in the MR is Vol. 14 #2 p.
115-117. This article by David Shannon of Mesa, AZ has a map, four nice
photographs, & a view from the Verde River looking towards the roadcut and
basalt boulders of the natrolite area. There seems to be two distinct areas of
interest to the mineral collector: the natrolite and the herschellite areas.
Other minerals to be found are apophyllite, okenite, gyrolite, calcite,
analcime, gismondine, phillipsite and saponite.
Nathan, I think I will go to the zerox place tomorrow & make a copy of
both references for you, and snail mail to you.
Cheerz, Rod
