Rock primarily composed of white calcite with minor colorless fluorite. As seen in this photograph, taken under a combination of short wave and long wave UV, the calcite fluoresces orange and the fluorite shows a blue response. This specimen was self-collected by C. Clemens on 9/16/17 from the Minerva No. 1 mine tailings pile.
