Wonderful patterning and mixed hues, strong phosphorescence from Puttapa Mine, Australia. The bright
white areas are most likely all willemite; the white mineralization graded the highest percentage of zinc in all
these pieces. The bright green fluorescing color is also willemite – very phosphorescent.
The two primary
minerals in this piece are willemite and calcite, but we’re sure we will learn of more as further testing is done.
