Here's what the original seller said:"Featured here is a beautiful fluorescent specimen of Strontianite crystals on Calcite from the "Black Rock Mine" in Kuruman, South Africa. This beautiful piece is ready for display in your fluorescent mineral collection as it is."
The Strontianite fluoresces white with a pale touch of blue and is phosphorescent. The Calcite fluoresces red. It's an unusual form of Strontianite, completely different from the "ball" Strontianite I also listed.
