Babingtonite (rare locality specimen!) (ex Kay Robertson Collection)

Item Description

A VERY hard to find matrix display specimen of fine, sharp black crystals of Babingtonite measuring up to 7 mm on Quartz and basalt matrix. The label accompanying this piece states that it's from Somerville, Massachusetts but doesn't mention a more specific locality. If you collect minerals of New England, don't miss out on this attractive and RARE specimen of this attractive material. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#4500). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Welt" November-December 2017).
