Native Lead & Native Copper in Willemite & Andradite

NJZ millsite, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey

8.1cm x 4.1cm x 4.4cm

Ex. Robert E. Jenkins II Collection No. 7313


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare example of native lead from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a willemite vein in andradite matrix that hosts a rich distribution of included native lead and native copper!!! The native lead is present as grayish black inclusions and as a few tiny submillimeter exposed veinlets!!! There are also numerous inclusions of bright native copper, as well as a couple tiny crystals as well!!! Both the lead and the copper are best viewed with a loupe or scope, however one can see with magnification that the species are quite rich!!! There is a dark outer layer on the reverse of the specimen and there is a very thin, whitish line of unidentified mineralization as well!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! This specimen is from the Jenkins collection and retains its original personal collection label!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
