Item Description
Lustrous, translucent cherry-red to orange-red zincite crystals fill the colorful euhedral pod on this rich combination specimen from the famous Sterling Hill Mine of New Jersey. Classic and desirable material from this famed locality, probably dating to the early to mid 1900s. The matrix includes franklinite, calcite and willemite (both fluorescent). This is a fine example of zincite from the Co-Type Locality.
