Description
New Jersey has cool rocks too, and they aren't all from Franklin or Sterling Hill! We have some great trap rock minerals too. Many of these top-notch specimens also have a long history, since their discovery and extractions go pretty far back relative to American history. This fantastic combo from the Bergen Hill area of the wider Palisades sill body is one great example of both the quality of what can be found here, and the legacy these pieces can have.
