Description
Beautiful 10 gram red zircon crystal lot of small crystals with fluorescent apatite inclusions.
The apatite fluoresces yellow/orange with 254nm short wave UV light. 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.
You will receive ONE (1) lot of zircon crystals similar to those in the photos. Sizes and number of crystals will vary from lot to lot.
Location:
Shigar Valley, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
Size: approximately 3 to 6 mm each, 10 grams total per lot.
