Description/Interesting Notes:
A large and impressive example of this rare species from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of stunning combination of
fluorescent species - showing a colorful splash of fluorescent colors under SW UV!!! The specimen hosts numerous
significant masses of bright lemon yellow fluorescent esperite scattered throughout the specimen and visible on both sides!!!
Under SW UV one can see the areas of bright lemon yellow fluorescent esperite in association with bright green fluorescent
willemite, fluorescent red calcite, blue fluorescent hardystonite, and scattered areas of peach to orange
fluorescent clinohedrite!!! The willemite shows significant gemminess in person and, handsome yellow-green
color in daylight or full spectrum fluorescent!!! I must stress that the fluorescent pictures were not taken under optimum conditions - the fluorescence is WAY
better in person!!! This specimen shows a gorgeous combination of colors that makes it a true Franklin beauty!!! Very impressive and
dramatic 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 and retains its original personal collection label!!!
