Unearthed from the mineral-rich deserts of Nevada, this stunning fluorescent calcite crystal ignites under 310nm midwave ultraviolet light (UV-B) with brilliant pink and lavender tones. A true showpiece, this specimen exhibits well-defined cleavage planes, a transparent icy luster in daylight, and an electric glow that captures the magic of fluorescent minerals.
Its color response is likely due to manganese activation—a known cause of vivid fluorescence in calcite from this region. With subtle rainbows and minor matrix on one edge, it offers both raw natural beauty and visual intrigue.
Details: • Mineral: Calcite • Origin: Nevada, USA • UV Fluorescence: Bright pink and lavender under 310nm midwave UV light (UV-B) • Dimensions: 4” × 3” × 2” • Weight: 1 lb 6 oz • Notes: Natural formation with excellent cleavage; partial matrix; vibrant UV-B response
This piece is ideal for UV collectors, display setups, or educational kits focused on mineral luminescence. Whether it lives in a lightproof case or on your bookshelf, this calcite bridges the gap between geology and art.
Important Note: Photos were taken under 310nm midwave UV (UV-B) lighting. The fluorescence may not appear as shown unless you are using the correct wavelength. We cannot be held responsible if the buyer does not have a proper UV-B light source.
