Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of native copper with rare hodgkinsonite from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a matrix of yellow willemite that hosts a
rich showing of native copper in association with pink hodgkinsonite!!! The native copper is actually very well crystallized and undamaged!!! Rarely do you see
such finely crystallized examples of native copper from Franlin!!! All of the native copper specimens appear to have formed encapsulated in pink hodgkinsonite!!!
Upon close inspection there are several tiny cavities where one can find well-crystallized hodgkinsonite as well!!! This specimen is simply
amazing in person and under close study!!! Of course
the willemite fluoresces a brilliant yellow-green too!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 1st!!!
