This specimen features stilbite crystals covered with druzy calcite crystals. The calcite is fluorescent, and glows a bright white under UV light. When the UV light is removed the calcite continues to glow for a few seconds, this exciting effect is known as phosphorescence. Be sure to view the September monthly video on our video page to see the phosphorescence in action. This piece was sourced from the Jalgoan Mine in Maharashtra, India.
