6.4" Fluorescent, Yellow Calcite Crystal Cluster - Elk Creek
This is a 6.4" tall cluster of yellow calcite crystals that was collected from Elk Creek in Meade County, South Dakota. Under long wave and short wave UV, these crystals react by fluorescing orange-yellow (long wave UV) and white-yellow (short wave UV). These crystal are part of a septarian nodule. The base of the rock has been cut flat so that it stands up nicely without the need for a display stand.
About Elk Creek Calcite

The calcite crystals can be yellow, orange, or gold in color and are sometimes associated with golden barite crystals and selenite. The calcite crystals fluoresce a bright yellow-white under shortwave UV light.
