Antigorite Tilly Foster Iron Mine, Brewster, Southeast Township, Putnam Co., New York 6.82cm x 5.16cm x 2.26cm Ex. Frank W. Hess Collection No. 2545

Description/Interesting Notes: A classic, old time example of rare "cubic" antigorite from this historic New York locale!!! This specimen hosts an attractive showing of sharply defined "cubic" antigorite crystals!!! Antigorite is most often seen as asbestiform or lamellar masses, however these unusual specimens from Tilly Foster (possible pseudomorphs) exhibit pronounced pseudocubic form!!! The crystals have handsome light green color and have an almost, slightly pearlescent quality!!! The crystals are sharp and lustrous!!! In addition to the antigorite, there are numerous small patches of lively red color - these are actually paper-thin areas of rutile in association!!! Rare old time material!!! This specimen retains an old label from the collection of Frank W. Hess as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
