Catalog No.: A Gordon Jackson specimen
Notes: I traded this TN specimen to Vince Valade years ago. Gordon has acquired Vince's TN collection. Stilbite, chabazite, and heulandite zeolite species were found (1989, 1990) in a thin rock seam adjacent to a basalt dike that was exposed in the massive road cut for the Merrimack Industrial Interchange. (F. E. Everett Turnpike Exit 10).
The zeolites from this locality had a brown resinous coating when collected.
