Item Description

Any New Jersey trap rock collector will tell you that some of the largest best Natrolite crystals in the world come from this famous locality. These crystals are well known for their large size, excellent form, and attractive crystals. This specimen is a wonderful, sharp, prismatic crystal of GEM QUALITY colorless Natrolite group. No damage that I can see with the naked eye. A good minaiture from this classic New Jersey trap rock locality. Ex Kay Robertson Collection (#8267). Kay is a prominent California collector, who specialized in European classics (see the article in the March-April, 2007 Mineralogical Record and the 50+ page article in the German Magazine "Mineralien Velt" November-December 2017).
