Item Description

Perfect for the azurite or Franklin collector...a real rarity! Azurite is very rare at Franklin! This specimen is basically Franklinite in the form of sharp little crystals imbedded in calcite with azurite, willemite, and possibly hardystonite. The calcite and willemite are fluorescent as you would expect from this locality. Ex. A.T. Safford (see label).
