Locality: Gongcheng Co., Guilin, Guangxi, China (See on Mindat)
Description:
A recent post in our Fluorescent Mineral Facebook group revealed a relatively unknown fluorescent specimen from China - plumbogummite. Shen Tao posted a picture of a very pretty specimen under 270nm LED lighting and Rob Price followed up with a very nice specimen properly lit with SW UV. Rob's pics below, maybe when Shen Tao gets a "real" UV light he can supply us with some good pictures of his specimen.
