Esoterizona Stones 49

Fluorescent Minerals

I dug this massive beauty out of a side closet in a rock shop I visited while traveling recently - a combination called "crazy calcite" (with willemite), from Franklin Mine, Franklin, NJ. 8"x5"x3.5"  "Crazy calcite" refers to the combination of fluorescent orange-red calcite and dark red dolomite. The willemite fluoresces bright green.
Another example of this material, and a white light photo, can be seen here:

I also picked up an exceedingly bright and phosphorescent willemite from Sterling Hill, NJ.

Same specimen, white light. 5"x5"x2.5" - sits great on the shelf.
