Datolite on Prehnite with Calcite
Lane Quarry, Westfield, Hampden Co.
Massachusetts, United States
4.9 x 3.7 x 2.1 CM (miniature)
price: $440
Fall 22
Colorful Northeastern USA classic specimen. From the Lane Quarry (Massachusetts) this is a bright apple -green Prehnite base featuring a sharp, lustrous white Datolite and bright orange Calcites. This Basalt quarry was at one time famed as the source of the world's best Babingtonites, and some of the best Datolites as well. Since then, the Chinese Babingtonites and Russian Datolites have taken those crowns. However colorful combinations like this are unusual and unlike specimens from other world localities. The center is in excellent condition, only minor outer edge roughness is noted.
