Overview

Franklinphilite is a phyllosilicate of the stilpnomelane group. Known from only two localities (with a third unconfirmed locality in Switzerland), it was found exclusively from the Franklin and Sterling Hill mines in Franklin, Sussex County, New Jersey until 2013, when a locality in Wales was confirmed.
