A large specimen of New Jersey prehnite! It has the typical pretty pea-green color and botryoidal form, but in this case, there is a sprinkling of little spiky starburst of laumontite crystals on top. These two minerals are often associated from Prospect Park - you may have seen pseudomorphs of prehnite after large crystals of laumontite.
