Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely amazing example of diaspore from this classic New England locale!!! This specimen consists of a rich, showy mass of intergrown diaspore crystals in association with corundophyllite, clinochlore, magnetite, and rutile (as well as minor pyrite, brucite, calcite, and more)!!! There are lots of large, elongated blades of diaspore with crystals measuring to over 5.2cm!!! The diaspore crystals have glassy luster with marked translucence and a characteristic pale gray-lavender color!!! There are also several small areas of free-standing crystals of diaspore as well!!! There is a LOT going on with this specimen - in addition to being a fantastic diaspore specimen, it is also a magnificent snapshot of this unique historic locality's mineralogy!!! Upon close examination one can see numerous species in association as well!!! This is old time material from the Paterson Museum and retains the museum's affixed catalogue number as well!!! Classic 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!!!
