Item Description
A most aesthetic, excellent and classic combination specimen from Franklin. A pristine, sharp, lustrous, 1.3 x 1.1 x 1.0 cm, franklinite pyramid is artistically set on the sculptural matrix of cream-colored calcite and rose rhodonite. Fluorescence really pops on this piece with neon-orange on the calcite and bright green for the barely noticeable bit of willemite. Very fine Franklin material from the Fred DeVito Collection, found in 1962. Valued at $600-750. It is razor sharp and fine!
