This specimen displays an especially prominent triangle near the center of the display face. Triangular fluorescent zones are a recognized characteristic of Terlingua calcite and are specifically sought after. Little 38 material can remain visibly phosphorescent for around 60 seconds or longer after the UV source is removed. A perfect example of classic Terlingua calcite. Includes original collection labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/4253\/0600\/files\/ph_729f37ab-903b-4c56-be15-c4c18258400f_480x480.png?v=1788187047\" alt=\"Terlingua Calcite from Little 38 Mine, Texas with fluorescent zoning, brilliant multi-wave UV color \u0026amp; exceptionally long blue afterglow\" style=\"float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEx.
