Synthetic "Orangite with ZnS" - UV

Sodium chloride, calcium carbonate, calcium sulfate and magnesium sulfate were combined with high heat to synthesize this 3" wide specimen of what I call, "Orangite". Zinc chloride and sulfur were then heated to a high temperature on the surface of the ceramic-like orangite.

 

Shown in UV light.

 

Created in my basement.
