Orthoclase High Bridge (Aqueduct Bridge), New York City, New York 3.63cm x 2.37cm x 1.87cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of orthoclase from this rare and historic New York City locality!!! This specimen came from the famed High Bridge Aqueduct, New York City's oldest surviving bridge - construction of which began in 1837!!! This specimen was part of a group of specimens from this same locality (some of the labels that have more room list the locality as High Bridge Aqueduct, not to be confused with the Bronx neighborhood of the same name) that came out of an old collection!!! specimen consists of a single orthoclase crystal, proudly perched atop a small amount of matrix with several small almandine garnet crystals in association!!! The orthoclase crystal has bright luster and a handsome ivory color!!! Upon close inspection the garnet crystals are complete, lustrous, and have deep red color!!! Rare, old time material!!! This specimen is part of a suite of New York City specimens that we will be releasing throughout the upcoming weeks!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
