Item Description
The Braen's Quarry in New Jersey has been a seldom collected quarry for years, but has been a source of excellent Zeolite specimens and associated species. This piece features no Zeolites, but features attractive, sculptural, sharp, blocky, hollow "casts" of Datolite after Anhdyrite. There are some sharp Datolite crystals on one side of specimen as well, giving the piece some character. A wonderful example of this classic Trap Rock material.
