| Below is a gallery of Fluorescent and phosphorescent
minerals available for sale from John Betts - Fine Minerals in New
York City, NY. Fluorescent minerals, when illuminated
with only ultraviolet (UV) light (invisible to the human eye) will emit visible
light and appear to glow in the dark. Fluorescent minerals found on
this page include: Adamite, Andersonite, Aragonite, Artinite, Benitoite,
Calcite, Corundum, Fluorapatite, Fluorite, Hemimorphite, Hydromagnesite,
Novacekite, Phlogopite, Powellite, Rhodonite, Sanbornite, Gillespite, Scapolite,
Scheelite, Sodalite, Hackmanite, Strontianite, Magnesite, Vlasovite, Gittinsite,
Agrellite, Sapphire, Zircon, Witherite, Willemite, Manganocalcite. Phosphorescent
minerals continue to glow in the dark after the UV light is extinguished.
The preview images below of the fluorescent minerals for sale on this site
are illustrated illuminated either with 254 nm shortwave (SW) or 365 nm longwave
(LW) ultraviolet illumination, causing them to fluoresce. To see photographs
of these fluorescent minerals under daylight illumination and larger UV
illuminated images, click on the preview photo. Fluorescent minerals require
a shortwave UV lamp to see the fluorescent effect. To purchase fluorescent
mineral specimens from this gallery, go to the
Online order form.

FLUORESCENT AND PHOSPHORESCENT DIAMOND CRYSTALS
The diamonds shown below fluoresce under 365 nm longwave ultraviolet
illumination. Ultraviolet illumination is invisible to the human eye. These
diamonds absorb the energy of the invisible ultraviolet illumination, then
emit visible light in various colors. The result is that these diamond crystals
appear to glow in the dark. Some, as noted in the individual descriptions,
phosphoresce when all illumination is extinguished -- truly glowing in the
dark.

FLUORESCENT MINERALS UNDER LONGWAVE UV
ILLUMINATION
The minerals shown below fluoresce under 365 nm longwave ultraviolet
illumination. Ultraviolet illumination is invisible to the human eye. These
minerals absorb the energy of the invisible ultraviolet illumination, then
emit visible light in various colors. The result is that these minerals appear
to glow in the dark.
Several of the minerals below also fluoresce under 254 nm shortwave ultraviolet
illumination, sometimes in a different color. Images under both UV light
sources are shown if the minerals respond to both wavelengths.
