Diaoyudaoite (road cut near Port Elizabeth) Newark Bay, Newark, Essex Co., New Jersey .73cm x .62cm x .44cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare example of a most unusual species from New Jersey!!! This specimen actually came from the sea floor in Newark Bay that was dredged up in a project to deepen the bay and subsequently used as fill in the construction of the Port Elizabeth Mall!!! More of this material will likely never be encountered again!!! Although there are a few worldwide localities of this rare species, it is believed that all of them likely are the result of industrial waste products - however, it is interesting to note that this material supposedly came from an area of sea floor that was previously undisturbed!!! This specimen retains an old label from Josef Vajdak as well!!! This specimen consists of a juxtaposed group of lustrous, slightly pearlescent crystals and is actually a fantastic example of the species!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
