Item Description

A smaller sized specimen featuring sharp, lustrous, crystallized rich oranged-red color crystals of Zincite with pinkish Willemite and black Franklinite. This material is some of the most well known (and easily recognizable) from all of Franklin. A nice specimen from the famous New Jersey collection of Richard A. Kosnar. We have photographed the crystals with a Canon MP-E 65 mm macro lens to show that they are truly terminated crystals and not just a mass.
