A spectacular 4-color rock from the famous Franklin Mine. Large and beautiful deep violet-blue hardystonite from the famous Franklin Mine. This is a spectacular specimen also containing orange clinohedrite, reddish-orange calcite, green willemite, and non-fluorescent franklinite. Full of rich color.
The orange clinohedrite is nicely phosphorescent as shown in the images.
The Franklin and Sterling Hill mines in New Jersey are famous around the world for their bright and colorful fluorescent minerals. In fact, this area has been deemed the “Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World”.
A major component of rock collecting (for us) is simply getting out in nature. A buddy dragged us out to a very remote area here in middle Tennessee to hunt for fluorescent green agate. Since we consider ourselves pure "Glow Hounds" we weren't anticipating any glow rocks, just the beauty of the area, but we brought our UV lights anyway.
