Item Description

A hefty and classic specimen of lustrous, crystallized deep red color Zincite with white Calcite and pinkish Willemite (it's labeled as Bustamite, but it fluoresces bright green, so I'm fairly certain it's Willemite). This material is some of the most well known (and easily recognizable) from all of Franklin. A nice cabinet sized specimen from the famous New Jersey collection of Richard A. Kosnar (with an accompanying Casperson label). Please note that this specimen is heavy and will require an additional shipping charge.
