This is a classic "parker shaft" assemblage from the Franklin Mine, Franklin, NJ. The roeblingite nodule is 2.5cm wide and the specimen face is 5cm by 4cm.
The "hancockite" is altered to a dull brown almost earthy texture while the hendricksite is unaltered. Note the coconut-like texture of the roeblingite nodule.
