Hauckite with Pyrochroite and Sussexite 1100 Stope, 900' level, Sterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 3.76cm x 3.15cm x 2.22cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific example of this very rare species from the type locality - Sterling Hill!!! This specimen hosts numerous submillimeter crystals of orange-golden hauckite scattered around a darkly colored mass of pyrochroite and in close association with tiny pinkish microcrystals of an unidentified species!!! Upon close examination with a loupe or scope the hauckite is present as groups of thin, hexagonal plates!!! The matrix is comprised of fibrous sussexite intergrown with willemite (?) that fluoresces a bright green with significant phosphorescence after UV exposure!!! The unidentified pinkish crystals that are present around the pyrochroite are submillimeter in size but are quite lustrous and have marked clarity!!! This specimen came from James Zigras and retains his original label as well!!! Rare material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
