This is a piece of Terlingua Calcite – 1 Pound 11.4 Ounces. Terlingua Calcite is a classic in the Fluorescent Mineral World. It’s classic because it glows brightly and in multiple colors under multiple wavelengths of ultraviolet light. True Terlingua Calcite comes from only one location: Terlingua, Texas. Calcite from other locations that has similar fluorescence is correctly called “Terlingua-Type” or “Terlingua-Like” calcite.
