Robert Lavinsky

Description

A classic Willemite specimen from Franklin that is quite 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. This specimen has a multicolored arrangement of reddish and green Willemite mixed together. A wonderful specimen of this well known material, especially considering so many of the species from Franklin are opaque. Ex. Brian Kosnar.
