Friedelite 1180 Stope, 700' level, Sterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 6.85cm x 4.63cm x 4.1cm Ex. Tony Nikischer Collection #1105

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific example of rare crystalline friedelite from Sterling Hill!!! Friedelite is often seen as massive material, with actual crystals being quite scarce by comparison!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of crystalline friedelite scattered throughout the attractive light pink matrix!!! The friedelite has lively orange color and shows significant crystallization!!! The crystals are present as complex, triangular-looking "sawtooth" crystals!!! The matrix consists of massive pink material that shows marked cleavage and luster throughout (it is not calcite and shows significant pink color)!!! There are grains of black franklinite as well as some small, scattered grains of willemite (the only fluorescent material present)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the collection of Tony Nikischer and retains its original personal collection label!!!
