CaSiO Minerals

Click here to view available Axinite specimens. Axinite is a parker shaft mineral that fluoresces red (shortwave UV) but unlike Calcite, it does not flash. 

Click here to view available Barite specimens. Barite fluoresces white (SW) and is from both Franklin and Sterling.

Click here to view available Bustamite (SW) specimens. Bustamite is normally pink in daylight and can fluoresce although it is uncommon. Bustamite will fluoresce red (long wave UV) and cherry red (SW). Unlike Calcite, Bustamite does not flash.

Click here to view available Calcite pattern specimens. Calcite is the most common fluorescent mineral from Franklin and Sterling Hill. It fluoresces red under SW and if you quickly remove the light, it'll flash.

Click here to view available Clinohedrite specimens. Clinohedrite fluoresces orange (SW) and often forms in veins. 

Click here to view available Cuspidine specimens. Cuspidine fluoresces orange to gold (SW) and violet (mid-wave UV). 

Click here to view available Esperite specimens. Esperite fluoresces yellow (SW) and is one of the most desired minerals from Franklin.

Click here to view available Fluorapatite specimens. Fluorapatite fluoresces orange and is commonly green in daylight.

Click here to view available Hardystonite specimens. Hardystonite fluoresces purple to a deep blue (SW) and does form as crystals which do fluoresce.

Click here to view available Hydrozincite specimens. Hydrozincite is a carbonate which fluoresces blue (SW).

Click here to view available Johnbaumite specimens. Johnbaumite, named after John Baum, is a member of the apatite family. It fluoresces orange (SW) and is often grey in daylight. The only way to positively identify Johnbaumite is with x-ray diffraction.

Click here to view available Margarosanite specimens. Margarosanite is from the parker shaft. It fluoresces blue to pink (SW) and red (MW).

Click here to view available Nasonite specimens. Nasonite is a parker shaft mineral and fluoresces a white to green (SW).

Click here to view available Pectolite specimens. Pectolite is a parker shaft mineral and fluoresces orange (SW). It can form as rosettes. Pectolite is very often associated with Prehnite. It can be differentiated from Clinohedrite by phosphorescing them mineral. Clinohedrite phosphoresces, Pectolite doesn't.

Click here to view available Prehnite specimens. Prehnite is a parker shaft mineral and fluoresces tan, pink to even purple (SW). It is very often associated with Pectolite.

Click here to view available Roeblingite specimens. Roeblingite is a parker shaft mineral and fluoresces red (SW). One of the most famous formations of Roeblingite is in nodules, often in a "coconut" like shell. 

Click here to purchase view available specimens. Scheelite fluoresces white (SW) from Franklin, NJ. Scheelite is common throughout the world and fluoresces a variety of colors. 

Click here to view available Turneaureite specimens. Turneaureite is a member of the apatite family. It fluoresces orange (SW) and is often grey in daylight. The only way to positively identify Turneaureite is with x-ray diffraction.

Click here to view available Willemite pattern specimens. Willemite fluoresces green (SW) and is often collected as daylight specimens. Willemite in the daylight can be green, red, purple, blue, yellow, orange and others. Click here to view available daylight Willemite specimens. 

Click here to view available Wollastonite specimens. Wollastonite fluoresces orange (SW) is from Franklin and Sterling Hill. Wollastonite from Franklin is one of the most desired minerals, also one of the most expensive. There are 6 different finds of Wollastonite from Franklin.

Click here to view available Xonotlite specimens. Xonotlite is a parker shaft mineral that fluoresces purple. It often forms in veins but crystal pieces are known. 

Click here to view available Sphalerite specimens. Mahogany specimens look like mahogany wood, hence their name. This find of Sphalerite fluoresces much brighter under long-wave than short-wave. 

Click here to view available Sphalerite specimens. Green Sphalerites are rare and fluoresce a bright mint green color under long wave. 

Click here to view available Sphalerite specimens. This find of Sphalerite was discovered in the 180th level in the Sterling Hill mine. It's one of the most unique finds of Sphalerite. 

Click here to view available Sphalerite specimens. Golden Sphalerites start off as only a golden color; as the Sphalerite is exposed to long-wave, blue/purple appears throughout the specimen. The specimen also phosphoresces blue/purple. 

Click here to view available Sphalerite specimens. Most Buckwheat Sphalerites fluoresce the best under long wave. However, some exceptional short-wave specimens have been discovered.

Click here to view available Cleiophane specimens. Cleiophane is commonly associated with Sphalerite and fluoresces blue. 

Click here to view available Bustamite (LW) specimens. Bustamite uncommonly fluoresces under long-wave, it will fluoresce red. Unlike Calcite, Bustamite does not flash.  

Click here to view available Orange fluorescing Willemite and Calcite specimens. This very rare orange fluorescence is from the combination of Calcite and Willemite.
