Calcite
specimen number:
1831092
location:
Zacatecas, Mexico
description:
Colorless to light pink rhombohedral crystals of calcite measuring to 3.0 cm in size across the top of matrix. This is in great condition. The previous labels, as shown at the end of the video, give this locality as Zacatecas. This looks very much to me like classic material from Naica. Brightly fluorescent red under longwave ultraviolet light as seen at the end of the video.
