A nice cluster of incredible, honey-yellow cubic crystals of fluorescent fluorite with non-fluorescing pinkish-white calcite.
The yellow fluorite crystals are glassy and transparent, fluorescing a bright yellowish-white under all three UV wavelengths. The fluorite crystals have amazing phantoms as shown in the close up photos. This specimen is nicely phosphorescent.
First, an animation showing the difference between the UV flashlight we recommend (365nm filtered UV flashlight) versus unfiltered 395nm UV flashlights we see many folks carrying around at shows. So. much. visible purple light. We selected a bunch of rocks as a demonstration. Took pictures of them under his flashlight without the filter and then with the filter.
A major component of rock collecting (for us) is simply getting out in nature. A buddy dragged us out to a very remote area here in middle Tennessee to hunt for fluorescent green agate. Since we consider ourselves pure "Glow Hounds" we weren't anticipating any glow rocks, just the beauty of the area, but we brought our UV lights anyway.
