Prehnite (classic material)

Item Description

The Upper and Lower New Street Quarries are some of the most famous Trap Rock quarries in New Jersey and are probably most famous for its amazing and unique Prehnite casts after Anhydrite (sometimes called "fingers" or "snakeheads"). This specimen features beautiful "water green" color semi-botryoidal "fingers" and "balls" of Prehnite measuring up to 1.2 cm free of matrix. The Prehnites have a lovely color and they glow when backlit, as they're gemmier than typical specimens we've seen from this locality. A great Trap Rock display specimen from this significant New Jersey locality.
