Excellent specimen of this rare manganese arsenate found in only a handful of worldwide localities including of course Franklin. There are exceptional crystals on this specimen some showing good terminations and prismatic faces. The whole blackened side I believe is Allactite with a bit of manganese crust. Originally from the Scalisi Collection.
