Esperite with Hardystonite & Calcite Franklin Mine, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 10.4cm x 6.7cm x 3.6cm Ex. Gar VanTassel Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely magnificent example of this rare and sought after species from Franklin!!! This specimen hosts a very rich showing of intense, bright lemon yellow fluorescent esperite in aesthetic association with purple-blue fluorescent hardystonite, and deep red-orange fluorescent calcite!!! The esperite is present as a bold, sharply defined mass that resembles a shooting star (or slightly curved exclamation point depending on its position)!!! This is a VERY striking specimen in person!!! The colors are MUCH more intense in person and there is a LOT more color on this specimen than it shows in the pics!!! There appear to be some other species present and the reverse side shows scattered areas of orange-peach fluorescence within the bands of hardystonite!!! Simply an outstanding fluorescent Franklin beauty!!! This specimen is from the personal collection of Franklin area collector Gar VanTassel!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
