A classic Franklin mine specimen of pink prismatic-bladed Rhodonite crystals, but with enormous crystals. Individually the crystals reach 3.2 cm in length, but many display parallel growth with one aggregate reaching 6 cm in length! This type of Rhodonite from Franklin is zinc-rich and used to be called Fowlerite. It was then classified as a variety of Rhodonite and may well, at some point in the future, be given its own species status. A remarkably fine large cabinet specimen of well-formed Rhodonite crystals in a white Calcite matrix with black crystals of Franklinite and brown rounded crystals of Willemite. The specimen comes with a purpose made acrylic base.
