Bright multi-wave fluorescence and very phosphorescent, this terlingua-type calcite cleavage rhomb is from the famous Challenger cave Ð a series of caverns that have been a source for these clear calcite rhombs. This specimen displays a bright blueish-purple fluorescence under SW and a bright pink under LW. The animation below displays the nice phosphorescent.
Willemite, Calcite, Fluorite from the Garpenberg Mine in Sweden
The Garpenberg mine is located in Bergslagen, a very old mining area in the southern part of Sweden.
The mine is very active today and is one of Europe's most progressive underground mining operations. Collecting is not possible, and the few specimens that reach collector's hands are highly prized. The mineralogy is quite similar to that of Franklin NJ.
