"Prehnite was named after its discoverer; Colonel Hendrik von Prehn and is an attractive collection mineral. A trap rock quarry in Watchung Basalt worked between 1893 and 1925. The New Street quarries exploit an area of the basalt that was extruded over a probable shallow wetland or lake, thus the lava cooled in pillows. The large interstitial spaces between the pillows yielded superb minerals. Housing units were constructed over the quarries in recent years." Location: West Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey
