Item Description
This famous Trap Rock quarry has produced the finest US apophyllites and this is an excellent and aesthetic combination example of classic style - rare today on the market. The pearlescent, translucent to water-clear, blocky crystals are beautifully accented by the starkly contrasting mint-green prehnite-covered basalt matrix. The large cube is 1.2 cm. This very fine classic displays beautifully without aid. Ex Bob Trimingham Collection. Classic old-time material. Valued $350-400.
