Description: Marble (Limestone)from the Lime Crest Quarry,Sparta Township, Sussex Co., New Jersey(item number 10,478) These do not fluoresce Measures about 7" x 3 3/8" x 2 3/4"Weighs about 1K 980 Grams / 4 Pound 5.8 Ounces There are other minerals included. Here is the write-up on it: The marble exposed in the Lime Crest Quarry is a southern extension of the Franklin marble of the main outcrop belt. It contains the same assemblage(s) of skarn minerals and also epigenetic mineral assemblages in veins, and pegmatites. Some skarn bodies containing aluminium-rich assemblages with corundum or spinel, may represent a single stratigraphic horizon (Cummings, 2016). The epigenetic assemblages are thought to be Mississippi Valley Type (MVT) lead-zinc and ferroaxinite-bearing Alpine cleft. In more recent years the quarrying operation encountered large masses of very coarse white graphic granite, which was host to the Alpine cleft assemblages. Also encountered late in the operation was a large cavernous opening, partially filled with a mud, and lined with secondary calcite crystals that fluoresced an unusual (for the location) greenish white with strong phosphorescence (Chet Lemanski field notes) (photo color may not be true to original mineral - it's hard to get the coloring right in the photos) International Sales - Please "contact seller" to ask for shipping costs[Minimum international shipping $12] I will combine shipping. “Contact Seller” to tell me you are bidding on more than 1 item.If I send you an invoice before you are done, remind me to wait til you’re done, and ignore invoice.
