Named for the man who provided the first specimen for study, Dr. Joseph Alexis Stolz from the Czech Republic.  Relatively uncommon, Stolzite forms in the oxidized areas of hydrothermal tungsten-rich lead deposits. It can be found in many locations but only in very small amounts. Stolzite can fluoresce a bright red to orange under long-wave ultraviolet light and a bright lemony yellow under short-wave ultraviolet light. Often used as a scintillator due to its luminescence when irradiated.
