RHODOCHROSITE, PYRITE, QUARTZ, MG CALCITE SPECIMEN

A plethora of photos and a video from all sides of the specimen taken in natural daylight. What you see is what you will receive, no surprises.

ORIGIN : MADEM-LAKKOS MINE, CHALKIDIKI, MACEDONIA, GREECE

(MACEDONIA - THE LAND OF THE GREEK KING ALEXANDER THE GREAT)

A wonderful and highly sought after combination from this locality consisting of pink Rhodochrosite with a wonderful saturation of color along with shiny golden Pyrite. Minor micro terminated Quartz crystals and minor Manganoan Calcite which glows a delightful sweet bright neon watermelon pink to coral pink color under long wave ultraviolet light (see pictures) present. Specimen looks interesting under magnification. Specimens from this locality come from old miners and were found decades ago. The locality is hardly known to the mineral world and specimens from this locality are now found in private collections. Hardly any of this material from this locality is available on the market which makes it a rarer specimen (google search). Specimen comes from the historically mined but now closed and refilled upper levels of the Madem-Lakkos deposit in Northern Greece. Will be a great addition to any rock and mineral collection. This is the opportunity to add this old timer and Greek classic to your rock or mineral collection.

*relisted due to non payment, if you do not intend to proceed with payment then I kindly ask you to refrain from bidding.

Please note : Fluorescence is a phenomenon that causes a mineral to "glow" within the visible spectrum when exposed to ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light is a form of electromagnetic radiation invisible to the human eye. The ultraviolet reaction is only visible with a special fluorescent torch / lamp with a filter that blocks white light but allows ultraviolet light to pass through. In order to achieve satisfactory results, do not use inexpensive 'UV' lights. The UV longwave torch I use to take the photos with is a Convoy S2+ Nichia UV 365nm LED Flashlight with filter lens. Keep in mind that not only wattage, filtration but also distance from the UV torch to specimen are significant factors for best results. Use protective UV-absorbing goggles, for extended viewing.
