Apophyllite (ex Brian Kosnar Collection)

Item Description

The now closed Millington Quarry is over 100 years old (it opened in 1895). Starting in the late 1970's the quarry reopened and started producing a large number of some of the most interesting and beloved specimens from this incredible Trap Rock quarry. This is one of the most famous Trap Rock quarries in New Jersey. This piece features an attractive crystal group of lustrous, sharp, white Apophyllite crystals measuring 2.3 cm and sitting atop light yellow-green Datolite crystals on matrix. The aesthetics and quality of this piece make it a rather desirable association specimen. Now that the mineralized zone at Millington is finished, you will not see any more of these beautiful specimens on the market anymore. A great Trap Rock display specimen from this significant New Jersey locality. Ex Brian Kosnar collection.
