Classic Shortwave & Longwave UV Fluorescent Mineral Specimen with Excellent Coverage, Very Bright Colors & Gorgeous Patterns from the Sterling Hill Mine in New Jersey, USA!
*** Please Note: This Specimen Responds Best with a High-Powered & Filtered Longwave (365nm) UV Source, Such as a Convoy, UV Beast or Similar LED LW Flashlight (Can Get a Similar Light for < $60 Now from Many Different Places). There is also Some Response with a Bulb LW Light, But It Would Not Be Nearly as Bright or Colorful As What Is Shown in the LW UV Pics. ***
Very Rich Fluorescent Zincite (Bright Yellow Specks LW), Willemite (Bright Green SW & LW), Calcite (Very Unusual Dull Blue + Vivid Red SW & Bright Vivid Blue + Pink with Lighter Blue-Green Highlights LW) & a Patch of Hydrozincite (Dull Blue SW + Dull Light Blue LW) on the Back Side
With Non-Fluorescent Red/Orange/Yellow Zincite (Type Locality) & Black Metallic Franklinite (Type Locality)
Locality: The Sterling Hill Mine - Ogdensburg, Franklin / Ogdensburg Mining District, Sussex County, New Jersey, USA
Weight: 5 lbs. 9.1 ozs.
Measures Approximately: 5.1" x 4.6" x 3"
The First 4 Fluorescent Pics Show the Longwave UV Response Using a Convoy C8+ LED LE Flashlight. The Last 3 Fluorescent Pics Show the Shortwave Response, and were Taken Using a 35w WayTooCool SW Light.
Fluorescent Response will Vary Depending on Strength of Light Used, but Any Decent Light of the Proper Wavelength(s) Will Produce Similar Responses!
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!
