Quartz and Calcite included with Hematite (ex Brian Kosnar collection)

Item Description

The Braen's Quarry in New Jersey has been a seldom collection quarry for year, but has been a source of excellent Zeolite specimens and associated species. This piece features no Zeolites, but it hosts attactive, sharp, gemmy Quartz crystals with milky yellowish Calcite crystals which are included with silvery-black crystals of Hematite. You can see the Hematite with the naked eye, but they look even better under magnification, and we photographed them under high magnification to help illustrate their quality. A wonderful example of this fantastic phenomenon in the mineral world.
