Fluorite from the Naughty Gnome Pocket of the Diana Maria Mine in Weardale, England

This fluorite is daylight fluorescent, meaning it changes color in sunlight! It is a lovely emerald green in indoor lighting and parts of it turn blue in the sun ☀️

I knew this rock was special, but I didn't realize just how special. It glows under 365 nm and 395 nm UV light. Wow!

Merry Christmas, Feliz Navidad & Happy Holidays to everyone! I posted this tree a couple of years ago, but decided to decorate it this year! Aragonite/cave calcite from "Santa" Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico, with some willemite & calcite sprinkles from Franklin, NJ. Shown under short wave ultraviolet and white light.

My fluorescent (glowing) rock and radioactive materials collection that I've been building for about a year with my partner. Looks cooler IRL than what my phone camera can do. I've labelled everything with the color they glow as the text color.

Fluorite from Taraba State, Nigeria

This piece (along with everything else we post here) is completely natural and unpolished. The intense blue coloration you see in the picture is caused by daylight fluorescence. This fluorite changes color in the sun! It is dark purple in indoor lighting and turns a vibrant blue in sunlight.

₊˚✧ fluorite ✧˚ . . . did you know that the term fluorescence is derived from fluorite? when illuminated with UV light, fluorite has the ability to produce a bright blue glow. have you ever seen fluorescence in a crystal or mineral?
