Gypsum var. Selenite Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey 5.75cm x 3.5cm x 2cm Ex. Leo Neal Yedlin Collection (1908-1977)

Description/Interesting Notes: A rare, old time example of selenite from Franklin!!! While selenite is relatively common elsewhere, examples of selenite are rare in Franklin!!! This specimen consists of crystalline selenite that hosts a significant showing of associated species partially included within!!! There are complex masses and grains of a brownish mineral (andradite?), black opaque material (franklinite?), tiny grains of a dark slightly metallic mineral with green alteration, and some whitish calcite that fluoresces reddish orange under SW UV!!! The selenite itself shows a slightly yellowish fluorescence (although it doesn't show up that way in the pics for some reason)!!! This specimen retains an old Yedlin label as well!!! 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!!!
