💎 Description

In daylight, this Franklin specimen shows a white to pale gray granular body broken up by irregular dark brown-black patches. The bold, high-contrast pattern gives the piece a striking black-and-white look across every face.

Under shortwave UV, the specimen erupts into a vivid three-color display. Deep blue-purple hardystonite glows across most of the surface, vivid green willemite fills patches and seams throughout, and small accents of orange-red calcite add a warm pop of color. Under longwave, the hardystonite turns a pale creamy lavender, with only faint traces of green willemite visible.

The dominance of rich blue-purple hardystonite, accented by bright green willemite and touches of red calcite, makes this a colorful and classic Franklin display piece.
