The spinel occurrence is a band of diopside skarn at the contact between a pegmatitic syenite and marble. Spinel crystals occur in calcite pods in the skarn.
The region is underlain by metamorphic rocks of Early Proterozoic age, consisting of gneisses and marble, intruded by granitic rocks.
The actual locality is a small unnamed island near MacDonald Island on the south coast of Baffin Island approximately 200 km northwest of Lake Harbour.
