Item Description

Friedelite is a relatively rare manganese silicate that is only found in a few localities around the world. The Franklin Mining District is one of the most well-known and classic localities for the species. This piece hosts a coverage of sparkling, pinkish-tan, micro crystals of Friedelite on typical Franklin matrix (Franklinite and Calcite). The piece comes with an old classic label from John Albanese, one of the top dealers in New Jersey of his day.
