Minerals were found in a boulder containing quartz-vein-hosted copper mineralisation, "from the confluence of the Detani River and its tributaries, Ohgurusu, Kiwa, Kumano City, Mie Prefecture (33°52′57′′N 135°55′46′′E). The boulder was composed of highly weathered sandstones, and chalcopyrite with supergene minerals were also found inside it. During a subsequent geological survey, one of the authors (S.I.) found an outcrop of sandstone with a quartz vein containing chalcopyrite and supergene minerals upstream of the tributary. Although the minerals reported in this study were obtained from boulders, those probably originated their outcrop." (Nishio-Hamane et al., 2020).
