[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 593601, member: 6786"] Today I picked up some Willemite with Calcite from Crystal World in Devon Meadows Victoria. Mined in NJ, USA. Also a piece of Fluorite. I took my UVC light to select the best, but there were so many great pieces. they don't really show up until you get them out of the daylight. Normal light: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/6786/1611826072_img_4252.jpg[/img] Sorry about the focus in low light, but it looks very boring rock. Then under UVC: [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/6786/1611826197_img_e4250.jpg[/img] The green is the Willemite, with the red being Calcite. The black is Franklinite (not sure of the white). Under UVA they also look good, but UVC is better. Even the experienced staff there had never seen these under UV and were amazed. Out of around 50 shoppers there, I was the only guy - weird? I'd better get some more before they jack their prices through the roof, as good pieces from Mt Sterling NJ, USA are expensive to buy on the net. [/QUOTE]
