11 new calcite fluorescent minerals to the Worldwide Showcase

Today I am excited to add 11 new calcite specimens to the Worldwide Showcase Page of my website.  The specimens are from a recent find in Mexico.  The specimens come from a quarry in the Zimapan Municipality, Hidalgo, Mexico.  Each of the 11 specimens were hand-picked for quality from a larger lot.  The calcite fluoresces best in shortwave ultraviolet light.  The primary calcite fluoresces various shades of red and yellow, with secondary calcite fluorescing shades of orange, pale blue and green.  The combination of color and various patterns makes these calcite specimens very aesthetic.
