Item Description
A textbook, classic, willemite on calcite combination specimen from Franklin. Sharp, rose-tan willemite crystals to 2.7 cm are nicely scattered in the massive calcite matrix. There is even a small sharp franklinite next to the large willemite. This is CLASSIC, highly desirable combination material from the Neal Yedlin Collection and comes with his engraved, painted metal label used in exhibiting. The willemite has a screaming, shocking-green fluorescense, as you expect. The calcite fluoresces a bright red. Beautiful, classic combo piece. valued $750
