Item Description

An outstanding, sculptural large combination for this famous extinct New Jersey traprock quarry. Vibrant, pretty dusty rose, lustrous, translucent, stepped-growth, blocky chabazite crystals, to 2.0 cm, are richly and attractively scattered in a dramatic diverging vug fully lined with glassy quartz points. Chabazite crystals with this rich color, associated with well-formed quartz crystals in this artistic form are very uncommon and this is an exeptional large combination specimen from the Eric Stanchich Collection # 18. Classic New Jersey traprock combination material.
