This process creates a pseudomorph, providing evidence of the specimen's geological history. Certain calcite specimens contain activator elements that allow them to fluoresce under ultraviolet light and, more rarely, exhibit phosphorescence after the UV source is removed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"6lkfss\" data-start=\"2072\" data-end=\"2092\"\u003eCollector Notes:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2093\" data-end=\"2384\"\u003ePhosphorescent mineral specimens are considerably less common than standard fluorescent minerals.
