Nicely crystallized, greenish willemite with black franklinite and red zincite. The green fluorescence of the willemite is extremely intense. It is also “daylight fluorescent”: if outside in a sunny day in the shadow the UV light from the sun is enough to make the sample more green than under artificial light.
