Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of this rare and sought after species from Franklin!!! This specimen hosts a
rich showing of roeblingite in association with xonotlite, andradite, and epidote-Pb!!! The prominent, white
roeblingite nodule is visible on both sides and exhibits the classic coconut-flesh-like appearance that is characteristic of the species!!! In
addition to the main nodule of roeblingite, there are numerous other areas of roeblingite present as well!!! The
roeblingite exhibits lively red fluorescence under SW UV!!! Rare material!!!
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!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
