Abundant allanite crystals in pegmatite matrix rock from an undisclosed locality in the Franklin area. This specimen at one time had been mislabeled and sold as warwickite, which it somewhat resembles, but the matrix is feldspar rather than Franklin Marble. It later became part of the sales stock of the Franklin Mineral Museum.
