Apophyllite & Chlorite coating Calcite (rare combo) Ted Bartels Coll.

Item Description

Apophyllite is RARE from this well-known Connecticut traprock quarry and this is an outstanding and rare combination from the Ted Bartels Collection. Sparkly tiny apophyllite crystals are preferentially festooned on sides of a sculptural intergrown cluster of sharp chlorite-coated calcite rhombs. The impressive large rhomb is 6.0 x 5.8 x 4.5 cm. An exceptional, rare and nearly pristine 360-degree combination with only a bit of out-of-sight periphery wear and contacting. Acquired from well-known East Coast dealer Ron Bentley (his label is included). A MUST for the locality or species collector.
