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. 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, Greece.Found in 10/2013Specimen size: 3.4 × 3.1 × 2.9 cm = 1.3” × 1.2” × 1.1”Main crystal size: 0.1 × 0.1 cm = 0.0” × 0.0”Doubly colored fluorescence, orange on the crystals and yellow on the matrix and phosphorescence
