UV Fluorescent Calcite Crystal Specimen - Argentina - 142g

UV Fluorescent Calcite Crystal Specimen - Argentina - 142g

A fluorescent calcite specimen from Argentina. Look for the crystals, and the glow under a UV torch. It fluoresces under UV light (UV torch not included).

Stone Facts:

• This calcite is fluorescent: it glows under ultraviolet light, an effect caused by trace impurities such as manganese in the crystal
• Calcite is calcium carbonate (CaCO₃), one of the most common minerals on Earth and the main component of limestone and marble
• It shows strong double refraction, so clear calcite makes a line seen through it appear doubled
• Calcite sits at Mohs 3, so it scratches easily; keep it away from harder stones and avoid water and acids

Traditional & Folklore Properties:

• Calcite is traditionally associated with cleansing and renewing energy
• Traditional associations: in crystal tradition, linked with the Crown chakra and Cancer (shared as folklore, not as a claim of any effect)
