PREHNITE with CALCITEPaterson,
Passiac County, New JerseyFormer Bob Olson/ Robert Chisholm collection 1930\'s, 40\'s
Former Minerals Unlimited stock, Scott J. Williams (1924-1997)SIZE: 7.5cm X 7.5cm Description:This classic Jersey specimen comes from the old dealer stock of Scott J. Williams (1924-1997). The piece consists of a nice green stalactitic formation of prehnite on a small amount of calcite on a basalt matrix. Folks don\'t write on minerals much these days, but I guess during the 30\'s and 40\'s it was the thing to do - \"prehnite\" being written twice on the top edge of the piece. This writing could be easily removed but I thought that it adds something to the interest of this old classic piece - what do you think? Comes with original Scott Williams - Minerals Unlimited label with a .75 cent price(!)NOTE: Many years ago we purchased a collection of antique minerals from the collection of Bob Olson. Bob had purchased the collection himself a few years earlier from the estate of Robert Chisholm , a collector from the 1930\'s and 40\'s. The specimens were housed in hand built depression era cabinets and were \"loosely\" cataloged. Each specimen filled a compartment within the cabinets and all of them rested on top of their accompanying labels. After much time cleaning the pieces and properly preserving all of the old labels we are finally ready to offer some of the collection for sale you for visiting Earthquest Minerals. We are a “Mom and Pop” business established in 1998 here in California Gold Country. What we offer here is the direct result of what we love: Fine Minerals, Agates and Petrified wood.
