Item Details
Description
Wernerite
Ladysmith Prospect, Laurentides, Quebec Province, Canada
Diameter: 4 3/8 in. (11.1 cm)
Provenance: Charles Ward Collection

While seeming quotidian at first glance, this adroitly carved and polished sphere measuring 4 3/8 inches in diameter animates under ultraviolet light. Wernerite are considered one of the brightest fluorescing of the scapolite silicate mineral groups. Produced from the Ladysmith Prospect of the Laurentides in Quebec, this specimen in particular presents a beautiful yellow hue under shortwave light.
