Description/Interesting Notes:
A rare example of hodgkinsonite from Franklin!!! While massive hodgkinsonite is, in itself, somewhat rare - crystallized examples
of hodgkinsonite are quite rare and highly sought after!!! This specimen hosts a significant showing of rare crystalline hodgkinsonite
on a matrix of massive hodgkinsonite and intergrown willemite!!! The hodgkinsonite crystals have sharp, lustrous faces, marked translucence, and
light pinkish purple color!!! Under SW UV, one can see that there is a significant amount of fluorescent yellow-green willemite intermixed throughout the
entire matrix!!! There are some crystal faces on the broad side of the matrix as well!!! Rare material!!! The pics say it all!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED MONDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 3-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MAY 5th!!!
