Ex. William Casperson (1879-1970)

Ex. Donald C. Gabriel Collection

Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #DCG 2038


Description/Interesting Notes:

A rare and unusual example of selenite from this famed locality!!! This specimen consists of a single crystal of selenite!!! The selenite crystal is lustrous and gemmy and has numerous unidentified crystals in association!!! The associated crystals are brownish in color and have a somewhat rounded, subhedral form!!! There also appears to be a small amount of calcite in association as well, which fluoresces a vibrant orange under SW UV!!! This specimen retains a Donald C. Gabriel Collection label from the Seaman Museum that notes that it was originally acquired from well-known New Jersey dealer William Casperson (1879-1970)!!! A very unusual Franklin specimen indeed!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! STAY TUNED!!!
