Fluorescent calcite is known for emitting vivid colors under ultraviolet light due to impurities in its crystal structure that absorb UV radiation and re-emit it as visible light. Historically valued for its optical properties, calcite has been used in navigation instruments. Its fluorescence enhances its appeal, combining natural beauty with scientific interest.
