CALCITE, PYRITE SPECIMEN

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

ORIGIN : MADAN, BULGARIA

Madan, in the Rhodope Mountains of Bulgaria, just north of the frontier with Greece, is an ancient ore-miners’ settlement. The history of mining in the Madan region extends back at least as far as the Thracians in the fifth century B.C. where the extraction of lead ore began .

A fantastic example from the Madan ore field in Bulgaria consisting of shiny golden Pyrite crystals with interesting growth patterns partly covered by UV reactive Manganoan Calcite which glows a delightful sweet bright neon watermelon pink to coral pink color under long wave ultraviolet light (see pictures). Specimen is interesting under magnification, view the interesting structures and formations close up. Specimen will look delightful on display in your UV collection. A wonderful specimen that the Madan ore field is known for and this specimen is truly captivating. Highest bidder will not be disappointed. Will be a marvelous addition to any mineral or rock collection. Do not miss this opportunity.

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.

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Gemstone Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
