A classic piece from the Puttapa Mine in Australia, now closed. The only minerals we are pretty confident of are the willemite and calcite - there may be much more. The white mineral has been assayed to be willemite with a very high zinc content.
A relatively unknown and obscure zinc deposit in a remote area of the Australian Outback has recently become famous for producing dramatic fluorescent specimens of willemite mixed with several other minerals. These pieces exhibit bright fluorescence, most with 4+ colors, extreme phosphorescence and wild patterns of color.Ex. Albert Everitt Collection
A major component of rock collecting (for us) is simply getting out in nature. A buddy dragged us out to a very remote area here in middle Tennessee to hunt for fluorescent green agate. Since we consider ourselves pure "Glow Hounds" we weren't anticipating any glow rocks, just the beauty of the area, but we brought our UV lights anyway.
