Datolite (color change) and Heulandite (Ref: 8.1-208)
Prospect Park Quarry, Prospect Park, Passaic County, New Jersey, United States
51mm x 32mm x 28mm
minID: 02F-TGN
Datolite with a strong color change from artificial to daylight, the color goes from a dark olive-green to a yellow-grey. From a remarkable pocket at the classic Prospect Park Quarry locality in 2008, there were not many pieces found. This has contrasting Huelandites with a warm brown color and shows the uncommon color change phenomenon very well. The Datolite is transparent with many faces being very glassy. There is contacting and bruising that can be hidden fairly well by display angle, so not for perfectionists. Overall the condition is equal to the best I have seen from this find, and a cute Northeastern USA oddity.From: Well-Arranged Molecules
