A great species rarity, no doubt about it. New Jersey Zincite is the stuff of legend in the gem world, the deposit being the only locale for facet grade material - and one that has not produced in many, many years. So, here is a novel and interesting way to appreciate a famed US material that is not readily available in gem grade. Great size, high polish and lots of distinguishable red-brown. You will be certain to have one of the few of these in the neighborhood!
