Item Description

Vivid pink pectolite is RARE from any of the well-known extinct Traprock quarries of New Jersey. Most specimens are white to gray to brown. Sparkly spherical aggregates of pretty orchid-pink pectolite needles are aesthetically clustered on the very elongated large basalt matrix. The large strikingly zoned ball is 2.5 cm across. The 2.3 cm chatoyant "fan" of a broken ball adds much pizzazz to the piece and reveals the radial growth of the pectolite needles. Choice and RARE colored pectolite from the famous district.
