Item Description

Tiny brassy pyrite cubes really sparkle on the desirable pretty pastel-pink pectolite botryoids that fill an elongate vug in this very showy two-sided combination from this famous and extinct New Jersey Traprock quarry. Pectolite is a signature species from here. The back side has a column of glassy pastel-green prehnite with glassy apophyllites clustered on the end. The periphery wear reveals the striking radial growth of the beautifully chatoyant acicular pectolite crystals, adding much pizzazz. Classic, rare and excellent combination material, that came from only one pocket in this style.
