[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 593627, member: 6786"] GR, in SA at Leigh Creek (2 years back) I gained access to the Putapa mine after dark (got permission from the local caretaker Geo to visit for two nights with my UV lamps) and found much Willemite rocks that mostly fluoresced red (largely calcite) and only a bit of green/blue. It was amazing, as only 1 in every 1000 or so rocks fluoresced. I signed in each day with the geo (before entering) and let him know by SMS when I entered and left for OHAS purposes. He was great. Willemite is a Zinc ore, but I never saw any whites in the Ozzie ores. This stuff (in the photos) comes from Mt Stirling (or Mt Franklin) NJ, USA. I've no idea what the white is? [/QUOTE]
