Apophyllite, Calcite & Natrolite (classic old-timer) Kosnar Coll.

Item Description

The localities at Bergen Hill date back to the 19th Century, and some of the most classic of all New Jersey Trap Rock specimens were found around this area. This excellent large specimen is more than likely from the Erie Railroad cut as I have seen similar pieces in various collections from the same locale. It is comprised of translucent, light golden color calcite rhombs, white blocky apophyllite crystals and small acicular "sprays" of natrolite on basalt matrix. Exceptional and uncommon old-time combination material from the Rich Kosnar Collection.
