Description/Interesting Notes:
A terrific example of this VERY rare species from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a portion of tan colored
clinochrysotile that hosts a significant showing of rare roweite crystals!!! The roweite is present
as somewhat radiating, intergrown translucent lathes intimately associated with the fibrous clinochrysotile matrix!!!
There is only ONE known specimen of roweite from the type locale - and this specimen is a part of that original type specimen!!!
This specimen retains a personal collection label from James Zigras as well!!! Very rare material!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
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 APRIL 18th!!!
