Item Description

A nice micro specimen of prismatic Willemite, yellow Mn-Axinite and pink Rhodonite from the famous Parker Shaft in the Franklin mining district. The piece comes from the Pat Gross and Rich Kosnar Collections, and remains in Pat's original black plastic micro-mounting box with her hand written label attached. I have photographed the piece under the microscope to better illustrate its quality. For micro collectors, or those who love minerals from Franklin, this is a great opportunity to acquire a cool little specimen with good pedigree for your collection.
