Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of pseudomalachite from New Jersey!!! This long defunct historic locality holds the distinction as being the
oldest mine in the United States, having been opened
in 1715 (mining was closed in 1865)!!! The locality is now buried beneath homes and specimens are seldom seen on the market!!! This
specimen hosts a dense coverage of lustrous green spheroids of pseudomalachite!!! The balls are uniform in size and upon close
examination are seen to be rather translucent!!! The color is a very intense deep bluish green that is quite striking in person!!! The pics
hardly do it justice!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
