A classic Willemite specimen from Franklin that is actually gemmy! These specimens are among some of the most easily recognizable minerals from all of Franklin. With over 350 species from this historic mining district, this one is easily one of the most significant and attractive species from this historic locality. You'll notice small reddish "Troostite" associated on this piece as well. A wonderful specimen of this well known material, especially considering so many of the species from Franklin are opaque. Ex. Brian Kosnar.
