Esperite is a rare complex calcium lead zinc silicate (PbCa3Zn4(SiO4)4) related to beryllonite and that used to be called calcium larsenite. It was named in honor of (1879–1961), petrologist of Harvard University. Esperite has a white, greasy appearance in daylight and is much prized for its brilliant yellow green fluorescence under shortwave ultraviolet light. It is found in association with calcite, franklinite, willemite, hardystonite and clinohedrite. It has also been found as prismatic crystals up to 1 mm in length at the , Potosi, Bolivia in association with allophane, , and barite.

  • L'esperita és un mineral de plom, calci, zinc, silici i oxigen, químicament és un silicat de plom (II), calci i zinc, de fórmula PbCa₃Zn₄(SiO₄)₄, de color blanc, una duresa de 5-5,5, una densitat de 4,25-4,42 g/cm³, cristal·litza en el sistema monoclínic. Es caracteritza per la seva fluorescència groga en il·luminar-se amb llum ultraviolada. El seu nom fa honor a Esper Signius Larsen, Jr. (1879-1961), mineralogista i petrologista nord-americà, de la Universitat Harvard, a Cambridge, Massachusetts. Fou descoberta a Franklin, , Nova Jersey, EUA, on s'han descobert gran quantitat de minerals fluorescents. (ca)
