Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection


Description/Interesting Notes:

An incredible example of this rare and sought after species from Franklin!!! This specimen hosts a rich and significant showing of bright yellow fluorescent esperite in association with willemite, calcite, and franklinite!!! The esperite is present as a large, thick mass in addition to numerous other significant masses, grains, and veins scattered throughout the specimen!!! The specimen also hosts green fluorescent willemite and reddish fluorescent calcite which makes a for a very impressive display in person!!! I must stress that this specimen was not photographed under optimal UV conditions and it is way, WAY better than the pics show!!! In person this specimen displays stunningly from numerous angles, however there is one position where the specimen shows a zone of red fluorescent calcite, green fluorescent willemite, and bright yellow fluorescent esperite almost like a tri-color flag!!! This is the best and most impressive esperite specimen in the collection and it is a real killer in person!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer!!! We just acquired the 6000+ specimen PERSONAL collection of Tony Nikischer and there are going to be some very exciting minerals to come in the upcoming days and weeks!!!
