An exquisite specimen of calcite in two different habits along with cubic honey brown fluorite crystals. The white fluorescing fluorite is very phosphorescent and has fascinating zoning under all 3 wavelengths. Under midwave and shortwave UV, the one unusual calcite habit fluoresces a bright purple. The other calcite is a pinkish-purple.
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.
