Willemite and Calcite from the Franklin, NJ area. Note the calcite is a different shade of red (more towards the orange end of things) than the calcite in the barite and calcite photo. I believe that's because the rocks were mined from different levels of the Franklin/Sterling Hills mines. Second in in an occasional series. April 2008
