Item Description

Any Jersey trap rock collector will tell you that some of the largest Analcime crystals in the world come from this famous locality. These crystals are well known for their large size, excellent form, and attractive crystals on matrix. You don't see many of these pieces on the market anymore, and they are known as some of the most classic of all Analcime crystals from New Jersey. This specimen features a few nice, relatively sharp, chalk white trapzeohedra forming a large thumbnail / small toenail sized specimen. A good reference piece from this classic New Jersey trap rock locality.
