Description/Interesting Notes: A fantastic example of this rare species from Franklin!!! This is a pair of two individual specimens that host a rich showing of purple hodgkinsonite!!! Both specimens exhibit a significant portion of lustrous, translucent purple hodgkinsonite in association with some willemite, franklinite, and possibly some other species in minor association!!! Both specimens exhibit planes that show bright, glassy luster!!! One specimen has a broad glassy face while the other has a stairstep network of glassy faces!!! Upon close inspection, one can see complex crystalline features in some areas on the hodgkinsonite as well!!! These specimens were paired together and both have the same museum catalogue number!!! These specimens are from the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum and have a museum label as well as an old label from Ward's as well!!! 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!!!
