    This is Piece Features Extremely Rare Shortwave & Longwave UV Fluorescent Bustamite, which is Almost Always NOT Fluorescent & When It Is, It Is Typically Longwave Only! Shortwave Bustamite is Quite Rare. I Have Only Seen a Few Pieces Ever, and This is By Far the Largest & Best That I've Ever Had!

    Weighs: 3 lbs. 8.4 ozs.

    The First 4 Fluorescent Pics Show the Shortwave (SW) Response, and Pics 5 + 6 Show the Longwave (LW) UV Response, All Using a 35w WayTooCool SW/LW Bulb Lamp. Pics 7 + 8 Show the LED LW Response Using a Convoy C8+ LED LW Flashlight. Last 2 Pics are Regular Light.

    Fluorescent Response will Vary Depending on Strength of Light Used, 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!
