[Rockhounds] Web resource

[Axel Emmermann]

Hi Alan,

I have a specimen from Wood County, Ohio. (I'm not sure that is in the Ohio
river valley ;-)
It's labelled "aragonite after celestine" but I'm not entirely sure that is
correct.
Anyway, it has a fierce fluorescence and phosphorescence under all kinds of
UV.
If you want a photo... just yell and I'll send you one.

Cheersz
