Item Description

An architectural, very fine and classic 5-species Franklin piece with 3-color fluorescence is good enough, but this specimen comes also with significant large Rhodonite crystals. The impressive, lustrous, pinkish-red rhodonite crystals are dominated by the striking, angled, slightly bent 8.8 cm, terminated crystal at the crest. The 3-sided piece is nicely accented and contrasted with typical accessories of lustrous black Franklinite sections and grayish-white Calcite. Neon-orange SW UV Calcite fluorescence, neon-green Willemite fluorescence and blue Hardystonite fluorescence (RARE - Type Locality) top the very showy piece off. Ex Chet Lemanski Collection. A classic, sculptural and rich Franklin Rhodonite with accessories. From the important Franklin suite of the Lemanski collection.
