The Como pipe outcrops as a low mound of appoximately 200x500 m. The rock is a monticellite alnoite with phenocrysts of poikilitic phlogopite, monticellite and augite in a matrix of melilite, phlogopite, monticellite and calcite with accessory opaques, perovskite and apatite. A full petrographic description and whole rock analyses will be found in Howard (1922, p. 54). A smaller alnoite lies about 1 km to the east-southeast.
