Very Few Slickensides of This Size & Quality Escaped the Ore Crusher, Since These were Prime Zinc Ore! The Vast Majority of Slickensides have Only 1 Slickenside Face, so This is a Very Rare & Special Piece!

Approximate Dimensions: 7.75" x 4.75" x 3.3"
Pics 7-8 Show the Shortwave UV Response, Pic 9 Shows the SW Phosphorescence at 20 Seconds After Turning Off the Light, and Pic 10 Shows the Longwave UV Response. All Fluorescent Pics were Taken with a 35w WayTooCool SW/LW light.
Fluorescent Response Will Vary Based on the Strength of Light Used, but Any Decent Light of the Proper Wavelength(s) Will Produce Similar Results.
Please Note: You need a Shortwave (SW) and/or Longwave (LW) Ultraviolet (UV) Lamp / Light to see the Fluorescent Colors as Show in the Pictures! This is NOT the same as a Blacklight, although there will likely be some minimal fluorescent response even from a Blacklight.
