Serpentine (Antigorite) pseudomorph after Enstatite Tilly Foster Iron Mine, Brewster, Southeast Township, Putnam Co., New York 4.4cm x 1.44cm x .95cm Ex. Florence Mecke Collection Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely INCREDIBLE pseudomorph from this famous historic locale!!! This specimen consists of a sharp, complex crystal of enstatite that has been completely replaced by fine, dark green serpentine (antigorite)!!! The crystal shows magnificent detail and sharpness of form - especially for the species and locality!!! The specimen exhibits complex termination features and various sharply defined crystalline features along its length!!! The specimen is complete and in fantastic condition!!! The crystal has marked luster and a rich, dark green color with very slight translucence!!! This is an AMAZING specimen for the locality!!! This is OLD material that likely dates to the 19th century!!! The Tilly Foster Iron Mine was closed in 1897 after a tragic and deadly rockslide occured!!! Specimens are quite scarce and highly sought after by collectors today!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!! Prior to the Nikischer collection this specimen was originally from the collection of Florence Mecke (acquired from the late 1930's until the 1970's)!!!
