Description

Up for bid is an unusual Calcite specimen from the Linwood Mine in Iowa. The Calcite fluoresces Dim Pink SW but has some unknown inclusions that fluoresce white under all wavelengths and are also phosphorescent. This specimen also has some non-fluorescent Marcasite and Pyrite. First picture is under LW, second picture is under SW and third picture is under White Light. I looked at quite a few Linwood specimens and very few had these inclusions.
