A Rare Combo Specimen from the Eternal Ghost Pocket at Fortress Keep
Up for offer is a highly unique, multi-mineral specimen pulled from the exclusive Eternal Ghost pocket at the Fortress Keep mine. This incredible piece features a soaring golden-amber Calcite crystal, punctuated near its termination by striking, metallic clusters of Galena and Sphalerite.
In natural daylight, the contrast between the translucent, honey-colored Calcite and the rugged, silver-grey metallic inclusions makes for a dramatic display.
But turn off the lights, and the Eternal Ghost pocket lives up to its name.
When exposed to a 365nm UV flashlight, this piece exhibits a spectacular reaction:
Fluorescence: The Calcite ignites with a blazing, ice-white glow, while the base reveals a beautiful, fiery pinkish-red hue. The Galena and Sphalerite remain dark, creating a stark, shadowy contrast against the glowing crystal.
Phosphorescence: This specific piece is a heavy hitter when it comes to phosphorescence. Once the UV light is cut, the Calcite holds a powerful, lingering afterglow.
Specimens that combine high-quality metallic inclusions with intense, dual-reactive fluorescence are rare and highly prized. This is a top-tier addition to any serious fluorescent or structural mineral collection.
