Margarosanite with Hyalophane and Native Lead

Parker Shaft, Franklin Mine, Franklin, Sussex Co., New Jersey

5cm x 4cm x 3cm

Ex. Ward's


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare example of margarosanite from Franklin!!! This old time Franklin specimen consists of a significant showing of margarosanite with hyalophane in association with some willemite, hendricksite, and other related species!!! This specimen retains an antique Ward's label that labels it as "Margarosanite with Hyalophane and Native Lead" however, upon careful examination under the scope, I cannot see any signficant areas of native lead - however there are micrograins of what appear to be native copper!!! The specimen shows a lot of great blue fluorescence throughout, however in person one can see that there are also numerous tiny grains of very intense blue-white fluorescence scattered about, as well as scattered superficial grains of pale reddish and peach fluorescence that are difficult to capture in the pics!!! There is a LOT more going on than the pics show!!! In person one can see several areas of oriented, lustrous faces (cleavage planes?) around the specimen and all kinds of other features!!! This specimen retains an old Ward's label as well!!! Rare old time material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!
