Two Interconnected Analcimes from Upper New Street Quarry, Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey

Collection

Description

Two interconnected crystals of snow-white Analcime. The underside has some small Calcite crystals. The color of this specimen is pristine and unusual, since most Analcime crystals have dirt specs or discolorations, whereas this piece is a pure white without blemish. These are large crystals for the locality. Collected by Chris Laskowich in the 1980's.
