Franklinite on Calcite with Willemite

Sterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey

7.9cm x 3.85cm x 3.34cm

Ex. John Durkos Collection No. 389


Description/Interesting Notes:

A curious and unusually complex example of franklinite from the Sterling Mine!!! This specimen is from the Durkos collection and was dubbed "The Mummy's Head" for obvious reasons!!! In person, the similarity is striking!!! This specimen consists of a large, very complex single franklinite crystal perched atop a matrix of calcite and willemite!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! A very unique specimen indeed!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
