Description

You are bidding on a small specimen of legrandite from the famous Sterling Hill mine in NJ. Legrandite specimens from other localities outside Mexico are hard to locate and this is one of the rarest for the species. Here some crystalline legrandite lines a small fracture of the matrix. Not incredibly pretty but highly sought after by Franklin collectors.
