Danburite is a rare calcium boro-silicate named after Danbury in Connecticut, where it was discovered in 1839. Several other famous finds were made in the north-east USA including several in New York state. The occurrence at Russell in St. Lawrence County, New York was made in the late 19th century with later finds made during highway widening operations. The Danburite crystals are very different to the large, gemmy, colourless chisel-shaped crystals found more recently in Mexico, but are classics in their own right. This miniature specimen from the Russell locality in David Hardman's North American suite is very rich in cream coloured Danburite with many small rounded terminated crystals lining cavities across the display surface. It was most likely obtained by him during the 1960s or 1970s from road widening operations in the area. A north-eastern American classic.
