Fluorescent Minerals - Page 1 : longwave and shortwave UV minerals, thumbnail up to cabinet size are listed below. We try to select specimens to have the best richness and aesthetic appeal.
Fluorescent cabochons are in the cabochons section.
Fluorescent sets are in the mineral sets section.
Important: The color response of your computer's monitor may not be the best representation of the photographs. The colors shown in the photos, at least as they appear on our office monitor, are the most accurate representations we were able to capture with the limitations of the camera.
Some photos may be slightly over- or underexposed, but every effort was made to capture the approximate brightness of the specimens. The camera has varying sensitivity to different visible wavelengths, and this can affect the color reproduction a little.
Abbreviations:
FL = "fluorescent", "fluoresces", "fluorescence";
LW = "Long-Wave" (ca. 320 to 370 nm);
MW = "Mid-Wave" (ca. 302 to 312 nm);
PH = "Phosphorescent" (i.e., temporary glow after UV source is removed);
SW = "Short-Wave" (254 nm);
UV = "Ultra-Violet".
Brightness key: please see sidebar (right side of page).
