Description
You will receive ONE wollastonite on calcite from Nobel Pit, Sterling Hill Mine, Ogdensburg, Sussex County, New Jersey. Each piece will look similar to the pieces in the photos but will be unique shapes and color saturation.
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: approximately 6.5 to 7.5 cm each, and between 80 and 116 grams.
