Those Rock! What are they? ...I need some.

They are willemite (fluorescing green), calcite (fluorescing red/orange) and hardystonite (fluorescing blue) from Franklin, NJ. The black is probably Franklinite, named for the town a type of magnetite, with the addition of natural zinc. I used to go there all the time, but don't do many minerals anymore.

The rocks are Franklin marble and Smokey is spot on with the minerals.

Love that area, went there last month and did the Sterling hill mine tour. Picked about 30lb of various rock from the dump pile after. Well worth the trip.
