Seeing fluorescent minerals up close for the first time is an
exciting experience. The colors are so pure and the glow is so
seemingly unnatural, that it is hard to believe they are natural
rocks. Hundreds of glowing minerals are shown, including Aragonite,
Celestine, Feldspar, Microcline, Picropharmacolite, Quartz, Spinel,
Smithsonite, plus many more. But don't let the hard-to-pronounce
names keep you away. Over 870 beautiful color photographs
illustrate how fluorescent minerals look under UV light and in
daylight, making this an invaluable field guide. Here are minerals
from the United States, including mines in New Jersey, New York,
Arizona, and California, as well as beautiful and unusual minerals
from Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Italy, Sweden, and other places.
Included are values, a comprehensive resources section, plus
helpful advice on caring for, collecting, and displaying minerals.
The field of collecting fluorescent minerals is relatively new and
this is one of the most complete references available.
