Calcite from Cloford quarry, Mendips, Somerset, England. This calcite fluoresces white and red-orange under SW and cream under LW (bottom photo) and has a long-lasting phosphorescence. The piece weighs 5.5 oz. and is 2.8 x 2.0 x 1.5 inches.

Willemite and Calcite that were compressed (mylonitized) over millions of years with franklinite from the Nason fault,1250 stope, Sterling Hill mine, NJ. The willemite fluoresces green, the calcite red-orange SW. It weighs 14.0 oz and is 3.8 x 2.5 x 1.3 inches. Calcite from the Christmas Gift mine, Darwin, California.
