Description/Interesting Notes:
A fantastic example of this rare species from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a rich mass of lively, translucent red
schallerite in association with a small amount of yellowish willemite and franklinite!!! The schallerite
has a showy red color and shows marked translucence!!! Upon close inspection, there appear to be some
lustrous, well defined crystal faces present as well!!! Additionally, there are also some
small areas where some cleavage-like features can be seen as well!!! This specimen was confirmed via XRD!!! 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!!!
