Antigorite from
Franklin, Franklin Mining District, Sussex Co., New Jersey, USA

Description
Comments:	Not verified by Dunn (1995). Reference is too early for a meaningful identification as the distinction between lizardite and antigorite was not well-established at that time. Verification of lizardite from Franklin by Dunn (1995) further casts doubt on the validity of antigorite at Franklin. See Gaines et al. (1997).
