Description from the seller
Fluorescent Calcite – Trepča, Kosovo
A Calcite specimen from the Trepča mining district in Kosovo, featuring abundant white crystals with translucent areas and vitreous to pearly luster on their surfaces.
The crystals are predominantly flattened, with well-defined terminations and geometric forms that intersect in several directions. Their overlapping arrangement creates a complex three-dimensional structure, with crystals of varying sizes extending to the top of the specimen.
Some surfaces display fine striations and small dark inclusions, particularly visible in the central crystals.
An interesting feature of this specimen is its intense orange fluorescence under UV light, which covers much of the crystallization and highlights the structure of the individual crystals.
Origin: Trepča, Kosovo
Weight: 370 g
Dimensions: 10 × 11.5 × 5 cm
The photographs are an integral part of the description. Colors may vary slightly depending on the device used to view the images.
The intensity and color of the fluorescence may vary depending on the type of UV lamp used.
