Description
Here offered is a very neat specimen of the type locality mineral Hetaerolite as small crystals and cleavages in a large vug along with a clear unknown mineral. The Hetaerolite has lovely iridescence and is an excellent example for the species. I was thinking the unknown was calcite but it doesnt have that structure. It also does not fluoresce green so it can't be willemite. Some of it does seem to have a dull orange response under Shortwave UV. Maybe someone more knowledgeable on F/SH minerals can let me know what it is. Matrix is made up of a classic mixture of willemite, franklinite, calcite and zincite. Willemite is highly fluorescent under shortwave.Comes with a Franklin Mineral Museum label as well as an older label from Family Minerals LLC.
