Golden crystals of Stilbite with Heulandite from New Jersey. Fine USA thumbnail sized specimen. Old label shows a date of June 1993. From MINDAT: 'A large quarry in the Orange Mountain (First Watchung) basalt, which has been owned and operated by the Weldon family since the 1890's. Owned by the Fanwood Crushed Stone Company (1981). On first observation the abundant mineralization in this quarry is very apparent and the immediate impression is that it exudes potential. In fact, good specimens are much harder to find here than in they were in the equivalent horizon in the nearby Summit Quarry.'
