Tetela de Ocampo is a town in Tetela de Ocampo Municipality in the Sierra Norte region of the Mexican state of Puebla. "Tetela" is a name of Nahuatl origin, containing the elements tetl (hill) and tla (many): it thus means "place of many hills". (Wikipedia)

Quartz veins cutting altered rhyolite with milky-white platy albite.

Used to be called Tetela del Oro because there was a gold mine in a nearby local town called La Cañada. (Wikipedia)
