Locality: Bertrix, Luxembourg, Wallonia, Belgium (See on Mindat)
Description:
Quite a bolder and a quite pretty bicolored one! Locatlity: Bertrix, Luxemburg, Belgium. I haven\'t a clue what causes the somewhat \"special\" fluorescence. Clearly different generations of calcite in an apparently fractured configuration... Seen under SW and MW-UV.
