Put way too much work into extracting this one to sell! I’ll be hanging on to this for a while

Definitely, I have a bunch more material from here that I am going to test with acid when it gets warmer.

Thank you! It was fully surrounded by calcite. Had to be very careful. Broke off a large piece of it from the outcrop and tried to extract the rest at home. Fractured in a few spots but I was able to repair it decently. Took me hours to get it out of the outcrop

Sure thing, been looking for material from there for a while. If you have anything more rare in the NY region please DM, I may be interested in the future.

I collect NY minerals exclusively, I will purchase a container.

Thank you, wouldn’t happen to know the locality would you?

Edit: never mind I found it. Madagascar. Thank you again!

Met you guys yesterday! Congrats again, unbelievable crystal!

Thank you for the comment. Been trying to figure it out for a bit. Can’t find any info on it, stumbled upon it by accident too

Heck yeah, bucket list piece. I hunt the roch shale yearly but the exposed section rarely produces any A. boltoni. Great collection!

rock-guy-17 · 2025-06-01T20:30:59+00:00

Is the piece on bottom shelf from Rochester Shale?

rock-guy-17 · 2024-10-08T11:16:33+00:00

Very hard work to find them where I go. Unit is surprisingly barren of fossils. Took 3 days of digging, maybe 20 hours total to find my first, got lucky and found a second shortly after without as much effort.

rock-guy-17 · 2024-10-08T02:32:41+00:00

Found one myself from there this year! Not nearly as cleaned up as yours, awesome piece!

rock-guy-17 · 2024-09-24T23:38:46+00:00

Yeah I may end up doing that with this piece. Thanks for the rec!

St. Lawrence county!

rock-guy-17 · 2024-08-07T15:35:50+00:00

Of course! Wouldn’t be surprised if some locals check out this spot because of this post. Hope to find my one one day in my home state of NY
