Item Description

Willemite is one of the staple species from Franklin, found in typically brown, golden, yellow and orange hues, but this specimen features rarely seen green partial crystals measuring up to 8 mm which are quite gemmy for the locality. The piece GLOWS an intense green hue under UV light, and small amounts of red Zincite and black Franklinite can be seen here and there. A beautiful example of this beloved species from Franklin.
