✪ Natrolite

Formula: Na₂Al₂Si₃O₁₀ · 2H₂O

Locality: Chimney Rock Quarry, Bridgewater Township, Somerset County, New Jersey, USA

Habit: orthorhombic

Colour: clear, white

Description: Large, somewhat rough crystals were described by Sinkankas (1961). In 1972 a cavity was opened that contained mostly single crystals as "floaters" in a breccia. This material is described by Sassen (1978). Sassen calls the hosting structure "pipe-like" and due to a "steam explosion". Later exposures confirmed that the structure did not result from steam but was an exceptional tensional opening in a fracture. The lower extension of the structure was mined out in 1978 and a further quantity of specimens were recovered.
