Esperite
Esperite is a rare complex calcium
lead zinc silicate (PbCa3Zn4(SiO4)4) related to beryllonite and trimerite that used to be called calcium larsenite. It occurred on the 400 foot level, approximately 1080 feet north of the north side of the Palmer Shaft pillar and other parts of the Franklin, New Jersey ore body.It has a white, greasy appearance in daylight and is much prized for its brilliant yellow green
fluorescence under shortwave
ultraviolet light. Found in association with
calcite,
franklinite,
willemite,
hardystonite and
clinohedrite. Also found as prismatic crystals up to 1 mm in length at the El Dragon Mine,
Potosi,
Bolivia in association with
allophane, chalcomenite, clinochalcomenite and
barite.
