Calcite

Reference: 1782

Episodic calcite mineralisation at Strontian mine in Scotland has produced some interesting fluorescent effects.  A fairly ordinary calcite specimen in daylight takes on a eye-catching range of colours in short wave ultra-violet light and highlights the 'mercedes' pattern in the crystal terminations.
