Holdenite with Rhodochrosite Sterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 2.9cm x 2.1cm x 1.76cm Ex. Gary Grenier Collection No. GG612

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare example of holdenite and rhodochrosite from Sterling Hill!!! This specimen hosts a significant showing of light pink rhombs of rhodochrosite in association with finely crystallized masses of pink holdenite!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope, one can see sparkly masses of crystalline holdenite on massive pink holdenite!!! There are also some unidentified species present as well!!! The specimen shows a curious yellow green fluorescence that, in person, seems to be a thin but permanent "dusting" in some areas!!! There is a lot going on with this specimen in person!!! This specimen is from the collection of Gary Grenier (No. GG612)!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
