Root Beer Calcite From Qinglong Mine Guizhou Province China
Root Beer Calcite (also known as Amber or Chocolate Calcite) from the Qinglong Mine (Dachang Sb ore field) in Guizhou, China, is celebrated for its dense, elongated, and translucent crystal clusters in rich, warm brown hues. These specimens are highly sought after by collectors for their intense phosphorescence.
Key Characteristics
- Appearance: Features warm amber-to-chocolate brown translucent crystals, which frequently form dense, elongated clusters.
- Optical Properties: Highly prized by collectors because it exhibits strong phosphorescence. When exposed to UV light, the crystal often produces a bright afterglow that lasts long after the UV source is removed.
- Origin: Sourced exclusively from the renowned Qinglong Mine in Guizhou, China, a locality celebrated for diverse and unique mineral formations.
