Item Description

A large, sharp, moderately lustrous, tan willemite crystal is nicely accented with a side car crystal, franklinite and calcite. This is an old classic! (A good, lock-fit repair to the back half of the piece is noted.) Good size and form make this a fairly large, highly representative and excellent combination example of the species and the famous Sterling Hill Mine. Bright green with red calcite fluorescence.
