Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Zincite
Locality: Franklin Quarry (Moses Bigelow Quarry; Farber Quarry), Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA (Locality at mindat.org)
Size: miniature, 4.3 x 2.7 x 2.2 cm
Zincite
This super miniature features a sharp, doubly-terminated, 1.4-cm crystal well-exposed on the surface of massive calcite, and also shows off a much fatter, half-buried, 1.5-cm-long crystal with a very nice, fat termination. Zincite is rare in nature, and the crystals from this mine, from the old workings, are simply the best. More than that, it is from the type locality and this label notes the piece to that era when the mine wsa known by the physical furnace or the initial mining town itself, which later grew into the larger Franklin mine. Ex Otto Runge collection (1941) to DC Gabriel collection, donated to Seaman Museum and then later exchanged out of the museum about a decade ago.
