Corundum var. Ruby with Spinel Franklin Quarry, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 7.3cm x 4.66cm x 4.2cm

Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of ruby with spinel from the Franklin Quarry!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of handsome, slightly purplish red crystals of ruby in association with scattered crystals of reddish-pink spinel!!! The ruby crystals exhibit highly complex forms with marked luster and handsome translucence!!! The spinel crystals are present in groups of small, complex crystals that have a distinctly different hue!!! Interestingly, it appears there are some areas where alteration between ruby and spinel is visible as well!!! There are several other species in association as well and there is a lot to see upon close inspection!!! This specimen has crystals all around and there is an unattributed catalogue number affixed as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
