Various Fluorescent Mineral Locales

These pages include areas which the webmaster has visited, or has somehow gleaned pertinent knowledge. Usually it will be in the form of a “Trip Report” and will contain site pictures as well as mineral photos.

Calcite and sphaleriteColumbia Mine, Critterdon County, KY, USA - An old zinc mine from the 1800’s with wildly fluorescent calcite, sphalerite, and fluorite. This mine is located 3 hours from my home and we visit once or twice a year.

 

Leucophanite and zirconLangensundfjlord, Norway - In 2006 I visited this area with Howie Green in search of the elusive leucophanite. Howie wrote an excellent article for the UVWaves and it is included here, along with some photos.
