Historically, NYC produced some interesting minerals and a geologist named James Manchester was the most famous guy to study them. His book, "Minerals of New York City and Environs," is still famous today. This is a specimen from his own personal collection, with his personal collection label - and the number matches that glued to the back of the specimen! I obtained this piece in the purchase of the collection of deceased dealer Howard Belsky. Joe Budd Photos
