An old-time classic from the Franklin Mine of a very sharp, lustrous, orangish-brown willemite rhombohedron on willemite with a bit of franklinite and zincite. Accompanied by an expertly handwritten, faded label from an older collection. The collection this came out of was a museum stash dating to prior to World War I. Outstanding green fluorescence.
