Description

Wollastonite on calcite from Nobel Pit, Sterling Hill Mine, Ogdensburg, Sussex County, New Jersey.

FOR BEST FLUORESCENCE YOU WILL NEED A QUALITY, FILTERED 254nm SHORT WAVE ULTRAVIOLET LAMP. 

You will get some fluorescence with a 365nm long wave ultraviolet light, but this one reacts much better to short wave UV. 

The wollastonite fluoresces a golden yellow, and the calcite fluoresces a magenta color under 254nm short wave UV. With 365nm long wave UV, you will see the wollastonite but not much of the calcite fluoresces. 

Size: 75 x 35 x 20 mm. 80 grams.
