Rare XL Shortwave SW + Longwave LW Fluorescent Bustamite Hardystonite Clinohederite & Willemite Franklin Mine New Jersey Uv Rock Minerals
$464.99
VA-02
Extra-Large, Classic Shortwave + Longwave Ultraviolet Fluorescent Mineral Specimen with Excellent Coverage, Very Bright Colors & Gorgeous Patterns from Franklin, NJ!
This is a Very Large Mineral Specimen Featuring Rare Fluorescent Bustamite, which is Almost Always NOT Fluorescent! Looks Best & Brightest Under a Good LED Longwave Light, Like a Convoy S8+ Flashlight! The Difference Between LED LW & a Standard, Non-LED LW Light is Striking on This Particular Piece - It Looks Best Under an LED LW, but Does NOT Look Good At All Under a Non-LED LW Light.
Fluorescent Bustamite (Dull Red SW + LW / Very Bright Red LED LW Only), Hardystonite (Blue / Violet SW + LED LW Only), Willemite (Bright Green SW & LW), Clinohederite (Pink / Orange SW) & an Unidentified Carbonate Mineral Coating on the Back that Shows White/Yellow under LW & LED LW
With Non-Fluorescent, Black Metallic Franklinite (Type Locality) & Andradite
Locality: Historic Franklin Mine, Franklin, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA
Weighs: 4 lbs. 11.4 ozs. / 2,137.5 grams
Measures Approximately: 6.3" x 4.8" x 3.1" / 16 cm x 12.2 cm x 8 cm
The First 3 Fluorescent Pics Show the LED LW Response Using an LED LW UV Flashlight. Pics 4-6 Show the SW UV Response. The Last 3 Fluorescent Pics Show the LW UV Response using a Standard Non-LED Light. Last Pic is Regular Lighting.
Standard SW & LW UV Pics were Taken using a WayTooCool 35W SW/LW UV Light, and LED LW Pics were Taken with a Convoy C8+ LED LW UV Light, But Any Decent Light of the Proper Wavelength(s) Will Produce a Similar Response!
Please Note: Fluorescent Minerals Require a Shortwave (SW) and/or Longwave (LW) Ultraviolet (UV) Light for the Fluorescent Response Shown in the Pictures! a Black Light is NOT a SW/LW Light, although Some Rocks May also Show Under Black Light as well!
