| Willemite: FL green Calcite: FL red Zincite and Franklinite: Non-FL Here are 3 specimens of willemite and calcite from the Mine Run Dump at Sterling Hill, Ogdensburg, NJ. The largest one weighs 4 or 5 pounds. Willemite and calcite form such an endless variety of fluorescent patterns that a person could build a great collection from nothing but "red and green". Though it's nice to have some of the more unusual fluorescent minerals in a collection, you'd be severely lacking without a few nice chunks of willemite and calcite. |
