Description/Interesting Notes:
A unique, old time example of willemite from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a dense mass of oddly colored, deep red willemite
that hosts an area of very dark blue apatite and scattered granular franklinite!!! There are some small areas of yellowish translucent
willemite present as well!!! Upon close inspection, one can see that there are discernable willemite crystals, with outer zones of yellowish, present under the
areas of granular franklinite!!! The apatite shows some sharp crystal faces and tiny areas of clarity with intense blue color!!! The willemite
fluoresces a bright yellow-green under SW UV!!! Old 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!!!
