AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This is a fantastic specimen from the long lake zinc mine, Canada.
These pieces are known for the fantastic colors and patterns. They remind me of something from outer space like a star nebula.
Several minerals are present in this little art work.
Under shortwave, if present, the diopside will turn blue, chondrodite yellow, calcite orange/red, hydrozincite bright blue and aragonite white.
