Roweite Franklin Mine, Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey .74cm x .47cm x .25cm Ex. James Zigras Collection

Description/Interesting Notes: A very rare example of roweite from Franklin!!! This specimen consists of a portion of tan colored clinochrysotile that hosts some small groups of rare roweite crystals!!! The roweite is present as somewhat radiating, intergrown translucent lathes intimately associated with the fibrous clinochrysotile matrix!!! It was difficult to capture this specimen in the photos, however upon close inspection in person the crystals are much more apparent!!! There is only ONE known specimen of roweite from the type locale - and this specimen is a part of that original type specimen!!! This specimen is the second of a pair of specimens acquired from the personal collection of James Zigras and retains a copy of the label as well!!! Extremely rare co-type material!!! 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!!!
