White glassy calcite matrix mainly covered by Afghanite Phlogopite and other several varieties of fluorescent and NF minerals in small quantity . Quite common material from Badakhshan!
But due to the presence of different small mineralizations , this specimen become very attractive when observed under magnifier.
Again, it fluoresces at all three UV wavelength with different colors.
Dimension: 105 x 55 x 30 mm
Weight: 268g
Origin: Badakhshan (Afghanistan)
Su una matrice di Calcite vetrosa bianca si rovano Phlogopite, Afghanite, pirite e altre diverse varietà di minerali fluorescenti e NF in piccole quantità. Tutto sommato è un campione abbastanza comune per il luogo da cui proviene (Badakhshan)! Ma a causa della presenza di diverse piccole mineralizzazioni, questo esemplare diventa molto interessante se osservato sotto lente d'ingrandimento. Inoltre reagisce a tutte e tre le lunghezze d'onda UV con colori diversi.
