Extremely rare Arctite Fluorescent - Height: 4 cm - Width: 2 cm- 17 g

Very rare arctite with podlesnoiet in natrolite/albite! The rare fluorescent mineral arctite (Na₂Ca₄(PO₄)₃F) fluoresces bright bluish white under LW lighting and normally occurs as small grains. In this recent find, the crystals are much larger in the specimens found! Arctite is less bright under MW light and non-fluorescent under SW. Orange fluorescent sodalite is also present. This is brightest in LW, much less bright in MW, and non-fluorescent in SW. Fluorapatite is the most common fluorescent mineral in these specimens. It is moderately bright in MW light, less bright in SW, and non-fluorescent in LW. It has a violet color in MW and SW. The fourth identifiable fluorescent mineral is albite. Albite fluoresces dull red in SW light. The specimens also contain non-fluorescent black aegirine and brown lamprophyllite. Guaranteed that no one else is offering this at the moment. Difficult to obtain, directly from Russia, and this was the last
