Price:
$165.00

Description

Beautifully formed zircon crystal, with minor fluorescent apatite inclusions, on biotite schist and calcite/marble/carbonatite matrix.

The apatite fluoresces yellow/orange with 254nm short wave UV light. The calcite/marble/carbonatite matrix fluoresces pink under 254nm short wave UV. PLEASE NOTE: This specimen only fluoresces with 254nm, short wave ultraviolet light. A filtered, high-quality lamp is ESSENTIAL.

Most multi-function, inexpensive UV lights, that claim to be short wave, are in fact either non-filtered, or not the correct wavelength.

Location:

Astore Valley, Astore District, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan

Size: 57 x 55 x 22 mm. 150 grams
