 | " New New Jersey finds are always exciting. This is from a find last year of bright mint-green, sparkly prehnite crystals that have pseudomorphed crystals of glauberite, retaining their form. Pretty! Very sharp replacements, on a large plate from this locality. Prehnite was named after its discoverer; Colonel Hendrik von Prehn and is an attractive collection mineral that is occassionally used for ornamental stone purposes. Its color is usually a pleasant green and is at times quite unique to prehnite. Typical prehnite forms rather thick crusts with a rough or crystaline texture. Epimorphs (crystal growth over the surface of another mineral)." Location: Weldon Quarry, Watchung, Somerset County, New Jersey
