Item Description
A cool reference specimen from the famous old Tilley Foster Mine, about 60 miles north of New York City. The piece features crystalline to almost massive reddish-brown Chondrodite that is intergrown with dark blue colored Mica matrix. I'm not certain what species of Mica this could be, as I haven't seen anything quite like it from the Tilly Foster Mine. From the worldwide collection of David Burgess (1951-2016). David was a prolific species collector from Newington, Connecticut, and the namesake for the extremely rare cobalt arsenate species Burgessite, which he discovered.
