This is so cool! I love that there's so many projects releasing OPEN SOURCE 3d models of specimens, such as this project I've talked about before that adds hundreds of 3d models of freshwater mussel shells to an open source library as obtaining real specimen shells can be extremely difficult (and to be trained as a mycologist you need to be able to touch and examine the shells due to how difficult it is to identify mussels in the first place). These models can also be 3d printed. I am unsure if the vertebrate models can be as well.

✨Fujian Cubic Fluorite with Black Druzy Quartz matrix✨

The term fluorescence is derived from fluorite, which is a common known factor for determining the legitimacy of your fluorite- as it will glow under the UV light!

This specimens cubic formations glow a stunning purple when activated! Amazing how they form so beautifully atop the druzy quartz matrix!

The word Druzy refers to the accumulation of small crystals. These crystal intergrowths can be formed by many different minerals- the species and shapes of crystals formed are dependent on fluid composition and the size is formed from fluid temperature and pressure.

On this piece, the black color of the druzy comes from the amount of magnesium that is comprised in the quartz. The more magnesium , the darker it will be! In this case, a stunning midnight black that shimmers with thousands of tiny stars✨
