Item Description

A cool micro specimen from the famous Franklin mining district. The piece comes from the Pat Gross and Rich Kosnar Collections, and remains in Pat's original plastic micro-mounting box with her hand written label attached. I have photographed the piece under the microscope to better illustrate its quality. Small white/colorless crystals of Celestine can be seen under magnification. For micro collectors, or those who love minerals from Franklin, this is a great opportunity to acquire a cool little specimen with good pedigree for your collection.
