Friedelite with Willemite, Calcite, and FrankliniteSterling Mine, Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA12.3cm x 7.45cm x 4.25cmEx. George Elling Collection
Description/Interesting Notes: An absolutely exceptional example of friedelite from Sterling Hill!!! This specimen hosts a thick, showy vein of intense red, highly translucent friedelite on a matrix of willemite, calcite, and franklinite!!...! In person it looks like a very fresh steak!!! I have never seen such fine or attractive friedelite!!! The willemite and calcite exhibit characteristic fluorescence under SW UV, and the fine translucence of the friedelite seems to give this specimen a unique character under UV (the bluish areas may be a result of the lustrous nature of the friedelite's surface reflecting the UV light back)!!! Ex. George Elling collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!!Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
