Phosphorescent Golden Honey Calcite Crystals on Druzy Quartz in Basalt Pocket faden and abundance linked to citrineFluorescent and phosphorescent Honey Yellow Calcite on druzy quartz, with a classic zeolite assemblage in a celadonite lined basalt vesicle. This specimen is a classic example of secondary mineralization from the basalt cavities of the Deccan Traps in western India, an area world renowned for producing aesthetic calcite, quartz, and zeolite combinations. The piece displays a cross section through a mineralized gas vesicle (lava bubble). It is cut and
