One of the most renowned locations for finding wavellite is the Mauldin Mountain Quarries in Montgomery County, Arkansas. Here, wavellite is often found within fractures of aluminum-rich metamorphic rock and phosphate deposits. These geological conditions contribute to the formation of the characteristic botryoidal or spherical clusters for which Arkansas wavellite is known.
