Rare combination specimen from Huanzala Mine in Peru. On one side of the specimen, you'll find two bright blue fluorescent scheelite crystals, apatite (fluroescent a purple-lilac), and an area of calcite that fluoresces bright red under shortwave 254nm UV. All atop a matrix of quartz/clay matrix. A exquisite cabinet sized specimen.
