Item Description

The Lower New Street Quarry is one of the most famous older localities in the New Jersey trap rocks as it had produced some of the finest Prehnite specimens from the state. This piece was collected in the early 2000s and features a beautiful layer of semi-botryoidal, gemmy/translucent, beautiful soft green colored groups of Prehnite sitting on a layer of a dark colored (Pumpellyite-(Mg)?) on basalt matrix. The piece is in great condition all around, but is obviously contacted around the periphery where it was removed from the pocket wall. A great cabinet sized trap rock display specimen from this significant New Jersey locality.
