| Willemite, Calcite, Franklinite (Magnetite?) from Sterling Hill Mine, Ogdensburg, New Jersey Specimen weighs 4 lbs. 8 oz. and measures 5-3/4 X 5 X 3-1/2 in. Here's a nice fluorescent large cabinet display specimen of a Calcite/Franklinite or Magnetite/Willemite mix from Sterling Hill, with an amazing contrast from its appearance in white-light. Willemite (bright green SW) and Calcite (bright red-orange SW) make this a gorgeous fluorescent display- check out the pictures! The shiny black mineral in this specimen is quite attractive to a test magnet, so much so that this may be Magnetite rather than Franklinite. The UV pictures are taken under medium-power shortwave UV light with appropriate hoya filters. |
| Item # FLO1108016 Huge Franklin New Jersey Salmon Willemite - Gemmy $79.00 |
This a large piece of Willemite from Franklin, NJ. It is mostly a beautiful salmon color with some green mixed in and it is
somewhat gemmy in spots. It measures approximately 6" x 3 1/2" x 2" and weighs almost 5 pounds. Under
shortwave UV, the specimen fluoresces very bright green. There is also a small amount of red-fluorescing Calcite
present which has an interesting "flash" phosphorescence when the lamp is removed. There is also a small amount of
non-fluorescent Franklinite present, as well, but the rock is probably over 95% Willemite. This is one of the most pure
specimens of Willemite we have found. These specimens are getting difficult to find.

Norbergite is one of several rare yet collectable minerals from the famous mines at Franklin, New Jersey. It is one of
the many minerals there that are fluorescent. Norbergite will glow a tan to yellow color when subjected to shortwave
UV light. Norbergite is often associated with other fluorescing minerals such as blue fluorescing diopside and red or
purple fluorescing calcite. The combination of different fluorescing colors can be quite attractive. Norbergite was first
discovered in Norberg, Sweden from where it gets it name. This specimen weighs 3 oz (84.5g) and measures
1.8 x 1.4 x 1.2 inches (45 x 36 x 32mm)
