A novelty at Munich 2013. Very well developed pyramidal Wurtzite crystals of good size for the species. They have a brown honey color and intense luster, and are on matrix, with small Jordanite crystals. The sample has intense doubly colored fluorescence, the crystals are orange and the matrix is yellow, and also a very notable phosphorescence.Agios Philippos Mine, Kirki Mines, Évros, Thracia, GreeceFound in 10/2013Specimen size: 7 × 3 × 3.1 cm = 2.8” × 1.2” × 1.2”Main crystal size: 0.2 × 0.2 cm = 0.1” × 0.1”Doubly colored fluorescence, orange on the crystals and yellow on the matrix and phosphorescence
