Calcite

Reference: 1051

Interesting, unusual and highly fluorescent (Short-wave) calcite from Strontian. Initially the crystals were of a prismatic habit but at some point change to scalenohedrons with a darker 'mercedes' form included in the later crystal.  The calcite has a dusting of small harmotome crystals. Ex. K. Burr collection.
