Item Description
The Braen's Quarry in New Jersey has been a seldom collected quarry, but has from time to time been a source of excellent Zeolite specimens and associated species. This piece features no Zeolites, but it hosts beautiful golden Calcite rhombohedra which are associated with minor sparkling Pyrite crystals on a small slab of matrix. The largest Calcite crystal measures 1.5 cm on edge. Good quality overall, and worthwhile for any collector of the material.
