Fluorescent Specimens, Metal Specimens, Minerals of the World, Rock 'n Slabs, Slabs, Top ShelfWILLEMITE FLUORESCENT SLAB 07
A stunning specimen of Willemite Fluorescent Slab 07 showing off the brightest fluorescence of all natural minerals Willemite. This rare special specimen is short and long wave fluorescent. The dark grey metal shown in the natural light photos is Zinc ore Franklinite. The white mineral is Mangano Calcite, shows as Pink with UVA Long Wave and Orange with UVC Short Wave. The Willemite is Bright Mesmerising Green under both fluorescent wave lengths. Pics taken with shortwave, longwave, and sunlight. Very cool stuff and this is one of my very favorite rocks. This is a small high quality specimen with bright fluorescence at a bargain price. The Slab is intended as a specimen and may have natural fractures which may not make it suitable for Lapidary work.
To view this spectacular specimen’s fluorescent colours you will need a UVC Shortwave Lamp and UVA Longwave Lamp. Make sure you wear safety glasses. Willemite Franklinite Calcite is also known as the Christmas Tree Rock for the colours Green and Red. This is a quality collectable specimen with wow factor.

HUEBNERITE QUARTZ CRYSTALS
Great looking Metal Specimen of Huebnerite Quartz Crystals, showing amazing crystal formations protruding out of the interlacing quartz matrix. Slight translucency on edges of Huebnerite crystals with some minimal yellow sulfur coloured oxide on surfaces or protected crevices and in the Quartz. This is a very collectable piece. Huebnerite is an ore of Tungsten. Tungsten is used to make fake Gold bars. That is because Tungsten has the same specific gravity as gold does. The best way to test for this type of fakery is to drill a very small hole in the bar.

CLEIOPHANE GALENA CRYSTALS
A stunning Cleiophane Galena Crystal Specimen on a Quartz matrix. Featuring many well formed crystals of Cleiophane – some on twinned Octocube Galena crystal forms. A sprinkling of micro Chalcopyrite is noticeable. Cleiophane is the gemmy or purer version of Sphalerite, sought after for its rarity and beauty. An outstanding addition to the metals cabinet for a serious collector. A real wow piece, my photos don’t do it justice. Not common Cleiophane or twinned Octocube Galena to come by and at a bargain price. The location is also classic of where some of the best Sphalerite, Galena and Quartz specimens are from. Almost forgot to mention some amazing Mangano Calcite comes from here too.
