Mixture of aragonite and cerussite

This is not Tarnowitsite, the plumbo-aragonite variety, but rather a mixture of aragonite and cerussite. The latter causes the yellowish hue of the fluorescence. Locality: , Passa Limani slag locality, Greece. Seen under White light and MW-UV. (courtesy of the MKA)
