| ⓘ Natrolite Formula: Na2Al2Si3O10 · 2H2O |
| ⓘ Pectolite Formula: NaCa2Si3O8(OH) |
| ⓘ Prehnite Formula: Ca2Al2Si3O10(OH)2 Localities: Habit: yellow gree, green Colour: botryoidal linings or spherical groups Description: Prehnite is distributed in a central, horizontal band of the amygdaloids located at the top of each of the three flows exposed at the Fanwood or Weldon quarry in Watchung. Most of this material is in the form of thin crusts or isolated small spheres which are either light green, vivid green or occasionally yellow in color. A small percentage of the prehnite in these horizons will form thicker botryoidal linings or spherical groups which can be quite attractive. The best prehnite is found in diapirs, as coined by Puffer and Laskowich, in the basal columnar basalt of the second flow. These large dome-like structures contain a myriad of irregularly shaped cavities of varying size. Three of the best known diapirs were located by Mark Bianch; the first in late 1987; the second in 2002 and the third in 2007. All contained prehnite after glauberite or rarely prehnite after anhydrite, each with a slightly different appearance. The 1987 find consisted of mainly two large voids at the base of a bench, filled with a light green prehnite, some covered with calcite crystals, to 5 cm or greater. The largest epimorphs take the shape of french fries. The 2002 diapir, located half-way up the side of a bench, consisted of at least 10 cavities. Many hundreds of specimens were recovered. One of the smaller prehnite pockets was coated with acicular natrolite crystals, up to 2 cm. The 2007 diapir was found in a wall approximately 3 m above a quarry access road. Although the formation contained numerous cavities, few quality specimens were collected. Prehnite from this pocket was unique. Many of the pieces were darker green in color and quite thick, similar to prehnite from the Paterson area. |
