Copper, Willemite, Franklinite

Here is an unusual one! This specimen shows a matrix of black franklinite, liberally infused with red blobs of zincite. More importantly, there is a vein of willemite that cuts through the franklinite and it is liberally infused with native copper which protrudes all around. I have shown just one view of the copper, where it protrudes the most but on the backside there is even more native copper which does not protrude as much! Unusual and excellent example of this unusual Franklin association!
