Description:The famous Prospect Park Quarry is one of the most impressive (and under appreciated) Zeolite localities in the world. This quarry has produced some amazing specimens in the last 100 years. This specimen features attractive, sharp, rather lustrous, well-formed, "rhombic" (the species is actually triclinic), orange-pink color crystals of Chabazite up to 1.4 cm with Calcite and Quartz and minor Chalcopyrite on matrix. Typically, Chabazites are not this colorful, so this is a hard to find shade for the species. The piece is from the Brian Kosnar and Fred Vlamynck Collections. Sadly, this great New Jersey locality is being filled in for a housing development (like so many of the great Trap Rock localities in this area), and pieces like this one will be never be collected again.
