PYRITE SUN
A stunning Pyrite Sun. This is a natural formation of Pyrite and something quite different to the usual more cubic looking varieties. Striations radiate out from the centre. Our Suns are hand selected at the source for their excellent quality. We are well known for our metals range and have pyrite specimens showing cubic, orbicular and octahedral crystals, as well as these suns. Pyrite (“fools gold”) is popular with all age groups. A great piece for the collector of unusual pieces. This Pyrite Sun comes with a perspex stand for display and looks even better in person.

Fluorescent Specimens, Metal Specimens, Minerals of the World, Rock 'n Slabs, Slabs, Top ShelfWILLEMITE FLUORESCENT SLAB 01
A stunning specimen of Willemite Fluorescent Slab showing off the brightest fluorescence of all natural minerals Willemite. This rare special specimen is short and long wave fluorescent. The dark grey metal shown in the natural light photos is Zinc ore Franklinite. The white mineral is Mangano Calcite, shows as Pink with UVA Long Wave and Orange with UVC Short Wave. The Willemite is Bright Mesmerising Green under both fluorescent wave lengths. Pics taken with shortwave, longwave, and sunlight. Very cool stuff and this is one of my very favorite rocks. This is a small high quality specimen with bright fluorescence at a bargain price. The Slab is intended as a specimen and may have natural fractures which may not make it suitable for Lapidary work.
To view this spectacular specimen’s fluorescent colours you will need a UVC Shortwave Lamp and UVA Longwave Lamp. Make sure you wear safety glasses. Willemite Franklinite Calcite is also known as the Christmas Tree Rock for the colours Green and Red. This is a quality collectable specimen with wow factor.

MANGANO CALCITE PYRITE
-33%Australian Minerals, Crystals, Fluorescent Specimens, Metal Specimens, Minerals of the WorldMANGANO CALCITE PYRITE
Lovely Pyrite Mangano Calcite Couple. Two specimens from the same location were in an old stock box and here they are. One in a triangle crystal shape with mass coating of micro Pyrite on one side. Another light coloured crystals cluster with minor Micro Pyrite. Both of these specimens are fluorescent under the long and short of it. UVC and UVA, just for good measure a few pics showing very brief phosphorescence with a UV laser. Just the kind many crystal lovers choose over more perfect collectible pieces. A super nice piece and something different from the more commonly available.
