Brucite Hoboken, Hudson Co., New Jersey 8.35cm x 3.85cm x 3.35cm Ex. Michigan College of Mines No. 4667 (A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum)

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, old time example of brucite from the type locale - Hoboken, New Jersey!!! These old time, type locality Hoboken brucite specimens are quite rare and date to the 19th century!!! This specimen consists of a large mass of intergrown crystals of slightly pearlescent brucite in association with some serpentine and an unidentified green mineral!!! The specimen hosts a thick vein of platy, whitish brucite crystals that appear to show some partial alteration in some areas!!! The crystallization is much more defined and significant in person!!! There is some unidentified dark green material present as well as some other possibly unidentified minerals as well!!! There is much more going on than the pics show!!! This specimen is from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum (former Michigan College of Mines Museum) and retains its original, antique, glass-lined specimen box and labels as well!!! Rare historic material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
