Description

Up for bid is a large 4 color Esperite specimen from the world famous Franklin mine in New Jersey. There is Yellow fluorescing Esperite, Blue Fluorescing Hardystonite, Red Fluorescing Calcite and two shades of Green fluorescing Willemite. There is a very bright Lime Green Willemite and a dimmer �Regular� Green. It was very hard to get Photoshop to differentiate between the Yellow Esperite and Lime Green Willemite. To avoid confusion I circled the Esperite areas. Note that the two circled areas are the only Esperite on the specimen. 4 color specimens like this are rare, and getting large ones with all 4 colors on one face are rarer still. This piece came from my personal collection.

Domestic Shipping
For domestic shipping I generally use Fed Exp Ground for heavier and more expensive items, and US Postal Service Priority Mail for lighter and less expensive items. Both services have door to door tracking and full insurance. If you have a shipping preference please let me know. If the shipping service I use costs less than eBay charges, I will refund any excess. I only charge actual shipping costs with no extra charges for packing or shipping materials and will gladly combine shipments. If the combined shipping doesn�t work for some reason, I will refund any excess shipping.
International Shipping
I use US Postal Service Priority mail for all international shipments. Please note that due to a lack of international flights, many overseas shipments are going by boat instead of air. This can add a month or more to delivery times. Purchase at your own risk.
