Fluorescent Wollastonite on Calcite from Nobel Pit, Sterling Hill Mine, NJ
$20.00
Wollastonite on Calcite. Under 254nm short wave UV wollastonite is golden yellow, and calcite fluoresces magenta. With 365nm long wave UV the wollastonite fluoresces a yellow and the calcite has a dull orange glow in certain areas only.
This specimen needs 254nm short wave UV, with a filter, to get the best results. 365nm long wave UV, with a filter, will produce fluorescence, not as vibrant as short-wave UV.
Size: 64 x 40 x 21 mm. 46 grams.
