Item Description

Large, well-formed Willemite crystals in Calcite highlight this cabinet piece from the famous Franklin Mining District. Some of the Willemites retain their euhedral form, and the same can be said for some of the Franklinites (Co-Type Locality) that are in the matrix. As expected, the fluorescence is absolutely superb. An excellent, and highly representative, piece.
