| Beautiful "Artist's Palette" of Color in a Fluorescent Rock from the World-Famous White Knob Quarry Minerals: Calcite and Calcite infused with Rhodochrosite and Aragonite Colors: Calcite with Rhodochrosite: Red-Orange Aragonite: Turquoise Blue to Dark Blue; Creamy to Creamy Yellow Size: 5.5" x 4.5" x 1" About the White Knob Quarry: The White Knob Quarry is located high up on the north face of the San Bernardino Mountain range, overlooking the Lucerne Valley and the southern end of the Mojave Desert in southern California. What began as a poorly producing, tiny gold prospect with tons of carbonate overburden, was in fact into one of the world’s purest sources of pharmaceutical- grade calcium carbonate. If you’ve ever taken a vitamin, brushed your teeth, or popped a Tums in your mouth after a spicy dinner, then you’ve eaten or used some of the White Knob Quarry calcite in your body! The White Knob, along with another quarry near Cadiz, CA, produces about 50-60% of the world’s total supply of pharmaceutical-grade calcite, but what we’re interested in is the material in the skarn contact zone – what was once considered “waste material.” Here, in a 25’-wide contact zone with the Monte Cristo Formation carbonates, are found calcite mixed with rhodochrosite, wollastonite, and other minerals with fluorescent activators. The rhodochrosite-stained calcite fluoresces a brilliant rich day-glo reddish-orange; wollastonite glows a shocking canary yellow; and aragonite contributes a beautiful rich light turquoise blue, with excellent phosphorescence. It should go without saying, but . . . this IS a fluorescent specimen, and a shortwave ultraviolet lamp and a darkened room are required to see the colors as portrayed here. About This Specimen: This is one of the most beautiful specimens in the collection. The skarn zone at the White Knob Quarry has lots of "waste" rock that has the calcite infused with manganese from beautiful rose pink rhodochrosite. The manganese causes the fluorescence to grade from the bright orange-red to a pinkish-red or bluish purple, depending on the amount of manganese present. In this case, the manganese content makes the fluorescence a bright red-orange. Coatings of aragonite fluoresce a beautiful sky blue to dark blue, with creamy to creamy-yellow fluorescing aragonite on the fringe. The colors blend and swirl beautifully! Don’t miss out on this great quality specimen. The quarry is open to only a very few collectors on an infrequent basis at best. They don’t HAVE to allow collecting there, but they occasionally do. Take advantage of this brilliantly colorful and beautiful specimen while it is still available! Great Price for a Fascinating Example from One of the Best Sources of Fluorescent Rocks in the World! |
