A striking natural specimen featuring pale purple fluorite cubes partially embedded in a sparkling white druzy calcite matrix. The specimen shows classic cubic fluorite crystal growth with delicate colour zoning and attractive contrast against the botryoidal calcite surface. Under 365 nm UV light, the fluorite displays a vivid blue-purple fluorescence, while small areas of the matrix show bright green fluorescence with noticeable phosphorescence, continuing to glow briefly after the UV light is removed. This combination of fluorescence and afterglow makes the specimen especially appealing for collectors of UV reactive and phosphorescent minerals. The piece displays well from multiple angles and highlights the interesting contrast between the fluorite crystal faces and the soft, sparkling calcite matrix.
