Prehnite ''cast'' after Anhydrite

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 beautiful semi-botryoidal, translucent, beautiful soft green colored groups of Prehnite which have formed a partially hollow ''cast'' after preexisting Anhydrite. When you flip the piece over, you can see the hollow cavity underneath, but it's somewhat layered, and seems to have an extra "ring" of Prehnite in the center. The piece is in great condition all around, but is obviously contacted around the base where it was removed from the pocket wall. A great small cabinet sized trap rock display specimen from this significant New Jersey locality.
