A large and surprisingly heavy chunk of selenite gypsum with abundant inclusions of highly magnetic franklinite crystals to a few mm in size. The presence of minor calcite is revealed under shortwave UV (and less brilliantly under longwave UV - blacklight), causing it to glow a bright orange. Accompanied by a Franklin Mineral Museum label.
