Aragonite from Stockhow Quarry, Cumbria

Aragonite from Stockhow Quarry, Kirkland, Lamplugh, Copeland, Cumbria, England, UK

Nice specimen of Aragonite from Stockhow Quarry, Cumbria.

It is both fluorescent and phosphorescent - meaning it glows under UV light (365nm) and also emits light after the UV source has been removed - although only for a second or two. Good quality crystals, this will make a nice small cabinet piece.
