Item Description

Sharp, light pinkish colored, pseudo-rhombic Chabazite crystals (they're actually triclinic) measuring up to 8 mm sitting on "water green" color botryoidal Prehnite with minor basalt. The piece was erroneously labeled as coming from "Route 60", but this is not correct as there apparently is no "Route 60 in New Jersey". Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#6483). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
