Esperite
Esperite is a rare complex lead zinc silicate (PbCa3Zn4(SiO4)4) that used to be called calcium larsenite. It occurred in the Parker Shaft of the famous Franklin Furnace zinc deposits. It has a white, greasy appearance in daylight and is much prized for its brilliant yellow green fluorescence under shortwave ultraviolet light.
