The NY-NJ Gem & Mineral Show Part 4

Since there were so many display cases exhibits to photograph, I had to divide them into several sections, otherwise the post would be too long. The pictures here in part 4 of the show report are all from the collection of Hershel Friedman, founder of Minerals.net. Hershel's case focused on minerals of the suburbs of New York City in New York and New Jersey. The shelves in the exhibit were as follows:

  • Paterson, New Jersey
  • Prospect Park, New Jersey
  • Misc New Jersey basalt deposits
  • Misc New Jersey minerals
  • Large New Jersey specimens
  • Rare, lower New York State Minerals
  • Large, lower New York State Minerals
  • Pictures of old iron mines in the Ramapo Mountains/Hudson Highlands

 
Note: All these photos can be clicked for an enlarged pop-up.
