Item Description
The Braen's Quarry in New Jersey has been a seldom collection quarry for year, but has been a source of excellent Zeolite specimens and associated species. This piece features no Zeolites, but it hosts lovely golden Calcite crystals up to 1.2 cm which are associated with small "rosettes" of Hematite on Quartz on matrix. You can see the Chalcos under magnification, and I photographed them under the microscope to better illustrate their quality. A wonderful example from this well known NJ locale.
