Description from the seller

Calcite inbetween layers of chalcedony.
The calcite fluoresces orange-red to pink and the chalcedony fluoresces bright green.
It is most visible under mid-wavelength UV light but is also clearly visible under short-wavelength UV light.

It is also known as “watermelon calcite or watermelon stone” because of its fluorescence pattern.

Found sporadically in remote areas (with permission) Imported from the U.S.
