Description:
This stunning fluorescent rock features a beautiful 3-color combination of calcite, willemite and fluorite and is part of a find made by New Mexico based collectors Ken and Gail Hennig, who found several pieces of this material while on a collecting trip in the area of Hidalgo County, New Mexico. Ken and Gail named this find "Enchantment Rock" after the state of New Mexico- the Land of Enchantment.

Under visible light, this rock looks quite unremarkable, and provides little clue to its beauty under UV light.
