Item Description

A classic combination from Franklin. A textbook, 2.1 x 2.1 x 2.1, franklinite octahedron is dramatically perched on a lustrous, sharp, doubly terminated (one end healed) willemite crystal with interstitial calcite on one side. The franklinite is complete all-around and is in great shape. One horizontal edge has a tiny bit of contacting and a back horizontal edge is contacted, but both areas have no damage, per se. A striking Franklin combo miniature with classic neon-green (willemite) and red (calcite) fluorescence.
