WILLEMITE
Franklin, Sussex County, NJ, USA
Secondary crystallized rhodonite in a vein in
franklinite, willemite ore containing chisel
shaped pink rhodonite crystals, yellow
manganaxinite plates, and clear willemite
prisms. Lots happening in a small area. This appears to be the assemblage cited by Dunn in his discussion on occur-
rences of marsturite. There does NOT appear to be marsturite on this specimen. (Lee Areson LA729)

plates with some visible brown johansennite
exsolution and some clinohedrite in the cleavages on this very unusual specimen. The specimen was collected by miner
Mike Massey many years ago.

BUSTAMITE, HARDYSTONITE, CLINOHEDRITE
Franklin, NJ
nbsp;
Massive pink bustamite with hardystonite and clinohedrite. These
short ultraviolet photos are somewhat overexposed. The specimen
is not as vivid in real life. Even so, it is impressive and this material
is hard to find. The hardystonite is unusually bright. On top of
that, this bustamite has a tugtupite look under long-wave
ultraviolet.
Specimen size - approx 15.5 cm. X 8.5 cm. X 7 cm.
