Beautiful CAB size display specimen of many sparkling calcite
crystals. It is hard to appreciate them unless the specimen is seen in
real life where it can be rotated in the light. The
many, tiny scheelite crystals fluoresce brilliant blue in short-wave UV
(shown in right-hand photo), while the calcite has a very pale
yellowish response. The fluorite crystals are visible with a hand lens
but do not appear to fluoresce. Size: about 5 inches across longest
diagonal, 4 inches wide x 3 1/2 inches tall. Calcite crystals to
1/2". #F173 ... $50.00 ![]() Chrysocolla with Malachite - Kalukuluku Mine, Congo. Botryoidal blue chrysocolla with some green xtls of malachite. Size approx. 2 1/4" x 2" x 1 1/2".
