The two large, hexagonal, prismatic crystals at the center are Svabite and has been microprobed (Bart Cannon, 1999) by Forrest Cureton. The longest is 6cm and the shorter crystal is 3cm. There are also a few 2.5cm crystals. The color is consistent with the description. There are also eight pink Rhodonite crystals of which the longest is 2.5cm. Fluorescent photos shown are Calcite (orange glow) and Willemite (green). On the side is a stuck on label. Granular garnet is rich and most associated with the Rhodonite.
Ex. Earl Calvert collection, Rock Currier. Several previous labels accompany the specimen, please see provenance tab.
Incredible specimen, one of which should be in the collection of any serious Franklin collector.

Quite an interesting specimen that I finally did some analytical work on from the Don Phillips collection. The emerald green crystals, which are long thin prismatic are Zincolivenite. These were verified by Raman. The Zincolivenite are hosted within a pulverulent yellow mineral and a colorless platy mineral. The yellow mineral has not been identified but might be plumboagardite (EDS). Also contained within the yellow mineral are platy colorless crystals, originally thought to be Koritnigite, but it is NOT. It is only selentite (Raman). The overall host mineral is a mass of Chalcocite.
The original label from David New stated is was Warikahnite with Cuproadamite.
