Native Copper with Willemite & Franklinite

Franklin Mine, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey

9cm x 5.8cm x 3cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A fantastic example of native copper from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a mass of willemite and franklinite that hosts a rich showing of native copper throughout!!! The broad face of this specimen hosts numerous compressed "sheets" of native copper both on its surface and partially included within!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can see numerous complex features and microcrystalline cuprite on the copper's surface!!! There is much more copper present than it appears in the pics!!! Under SW UV, one can see the bright green fluorescence of the associated willemite however there are some small curious areas of peach-colored fluorescence as well!!! There is an old catalogue number on the reverse as well!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
