Photo Copyright © 2006 Peter Cristofono  - This image is copyrighted. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
Locality: Gillette Quarry (J-J Mine; Haddam Neck Quarry), Haddam Neck, Haddam, Middlesex Co., Connecticut, USA
4 mm nearly colorless elbaite (achroite) crystal in center, and multicolored elbaite on left, all on a smoky quartz crystal.

Though labeled as being from East Hampton, the actual locality is almost certainly the Gillette Quarry (Harold Moritz, Mindat messageboard 106-214488, Feb 21, 2011).

Ex. Warren Johansson collection, field collected ca. 1939-45. Photograph by Peter Cristofono.
