Amethyst / Smoky Quartz included with Hematite (ex Brian Kosnar collection)

Item Description

The Braen's Quarry in New Jersey has been a seldom collection quarry for year, but has been a source of excellent Zeolite specimens and associated species. This piece features no Zeolites, but it hosts attactive, sharp, lustrous, gemmy Amethyst and Smoky Quartz crystals which are included with reddish and silvery-black crystals and "rosette" of Hematite. You can see the Hematite with the naked eye, but they look even better under magnification, and I photographed them under the microscope to help illustrate their quality. A wonderful example of this fantastic phenomenon in the mineral world.
