This charming rock is actually quite appealing with a complex coloration and a nice geometric shape. From the Franklin Mining District in New Jersey, an indicator of its true quality - being fluorescent. This solid specimen fires an almost completely neon orange color due to its Calcite composition and when exposed to Shortwave Ultraviolet light. The small cabinet-sized offering has an attractive cubic form and is simply impressive.
