Zincite, Franklinite Bookends
|
| |
The bookends are composed of rare zinc
minerals that are common at Sterling Hill Mine, New Jersey. Primarily
zincite and franklinite, the zinc ore also has streaks of white calcite
and willamite that fluoresce bright red and green under UV light.
The bookends are extremely heavy at 17 pounds which eliminated the
possibility of flat lap polishing on the cut surface. The combination
of gemmy red zincite and metallic octahedrons of franklinite is an
interesting and attractive set of bookends and a great presentation
for a mineral specimen considered rare world wide. |
