Analcime on Prehnite

Item 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 white trapezohedra of Analcime measuring up to 4 mm across sitting on "water"-green Prehnite. A nice association specimen from Prospect Park. 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.
