Quartz Dexter Quarry (Dexter Lime Quarry), Lime Rock, Lincoln, Providence Co., Rhode Island 4.09cm x 2.2cm x 1.74cm Ex. R. A. Fitton Collection #297

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic quartz crystal from this very historic locality!!! The Dexter Quarry was started sometime around 1640 and holds the distinction of being the eariest known mines in what would become the United States!!! The Quarry was formally closed in 1943 and specimens are scarcely seen today!!! This specimen consists of a razor-sharp, doubly terminated quartz crystal!!! The crystal is complete all around and exhibits numerous curious and highly complex features!!! The crystal had highly lustrous faces, gemmy clarity (more so than the pictures show), and interesting yellow staining!!! The crystal has an old affixed catalogue number and retains an old label from the Fitton collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!!
