Item Description
This is a doubly rare and very aesthetic old-time specimen of four sharp lustrous, brick-red chabazite crystals, to 9 mm, jauntily set on the basalt matrix covered with very glassy calcite scalenohedrons with rounded terminations. This find was a classic old-time and highly desirable New Jersey discovery and almost none are ever on the market today, and this comes with an elegant older label. A MUST for the species or locality collector. valued $750
