Huge Calcite, Hydra Springs, Diablo Range, San Benito County, California!

Description: Huge Calcite from Hydra Springs, Diablo Range, San Benito County, California 6.25 x 3.25 x 2.5 inches or 15 x 8 x 6 cm This is an awesome huge fluorescent white and red Calcite from a unique location I discovered and named Hydra Springs. That's a large fluorescent mineral complex in a remote part of San Benito County in Central California. I discovered this Calcite on a mountain side next to the main Hydra Springs site. I call it Hydra Hill. The fluorescent minerals on the hill are completely different than the main Hydra Springs site. They have fluorescent red, white, blue and yellow Calcite frequently all in one piece. They're beautiful but most of those are on the smaller size This piece is huge. Please Note: under Short Wave UV the Calcite mostly fluoresces white with only a hint of red. The red you see in the UV pics was captured with a combination of Short Wave and Mid-Wave UV. Please keep that in mind before buying it. It's a fascinating example of the ability of Mid-Wave to make Calcite's fluorescent red "pop" as they say, to brighten it. In this case the red is almost invisible until the Mid-Wave hits it. It's not as exciting without Mid-Wave UV but it's still a huge Calcite from a unique location with a cool shape. In other words it's a one-of-a-kind. That's why the price must remain high. Also, this fluorescent red and white Calcite isn't as bright as some of the more typical fluorescent California Calcites are but it's still beautiful in it's own way. It's much more crystalline than the usual pieces I found there. One side is the best, the other isn't so special. The UV pics are accurate. I didn't lamp it with one of the popular new super-powerful hand UV lights that over-expose everything because they blast out so much UV. If you have one it will be interesting to see how this piece looks. Probably pretty wild! Lastly I am struck by the similarity of the best UV pic to the color and shape of a salmon, most closely to the Chinook variety. Dimensions are 6.25 x 3.25 x 2.5 inches or 15 x 8 x 6 cm
