This is a beautiful natural pale pink to milky-white Calcite specimen with an especially impressive fluorescent response.
In ordinary daylight, the specimen has a soft pale pink/white appearance with natural crystalline textures, cleavage features, inclusions and surface variations.
Under ultraviolet light, this specimen becomes something completely different:
✨ BRIGHT PINK FLUORESCENCE under UV
🟠 NEON ORANGE FLUORESCENCE under the other UV wavelength
The dramatic change in fluorescence makes this a fantastic specimen for collectors who enjoy UV-reactive minerals and fluorescent Calcite.
Fluorescence
- UV response: Strong
- Observed color: Brilliant bright pink
- Other UV wavelength: Neon orange
- Appearance in normal light: Pale pink to milky white
- Mineral: Calcite (identification based on visual characteristics; locality/testing not provided)
The photographs include both normal-light and UV-lit views so you can see the dramatic fluorescent response.
Natural Characteristics
This is a natural mineral specimen, not a manufactured or molded piece. It exhibits natural surface textures, cleavage, inclusions, minor imperfections and contact areas that are part of its character.
This would make an excellent addition to a:
- Fluorescent mineral collection
- Calcite collection
- UV mineral display
- Crystal collection
- Mineralogical teaching collection
- Blacklight/UV display
Please note: Fluorescence can photograph differently depending on the UV wavelength, intensity, camera settings and surrounding lighting. The specimen shown is the actual specimen you will receive.
