Item Description
Pectolite is a signature species from this famous and extinct New Jersey Traprock quarry. Desirable, pretty pastel-pink botryoids fill an elongate vug in this very showy two-sided combination. Scattered isolated glassy apophyllites and tiny brassy pyrite cubes on the pectolites are very nifty accents. The periphery wear reveals the striking radial growth of the beautifully chatoyant acicular pectolite crystals, adding much pizzazz. Classic and excellent combination material.
