  • This mineral produces a strong yellow color when exposed to long wave ultraviolet (UV) light. Wernerite is a variation of scapolite.  Collected in Grenville Québec, Canada.  Wernerite is considered one of the strongest fluorescent minerals in the long wave.  This mineral was named in the early 1800's by Abraham Gottlob Werner (1749-1817) who was a well known professor of mineralogy in German mineralogy professor.

  • “Yooperlite” is the common name for syenite rich in fluorescent sodalite. These specimens of fluorescent sodalite were recently discovered Michigan.<br />
The specimen was illuminated with shortwave ultraviolet light (UV) that cannot be detected with the camera used for this image. The tissues in the plant absorbed the UV light and fluoresced in the visible spectrum. This technique is called ultraviolet light induced visible light fluorescence (UVIVLF) and is often used in biology to detect unique compounds in samples. This image is part of a series.

  • The quartz crystal optical wedge is a simple technique to aid in specimen identification by inducing a color gradient in a polarizing microscope. The wedge is made from a crystalline block of quartz cut into a wedge angle so that the optical axis of the quartz is oriented either parallel or perpendicular to the edge of the birefringent crystal. A typical quartz wedge is useful for measurements of petrographic specimens (rock and mineral thin sections) or other birefringent materials. The quartz wedge compensator is also employed for the determining the direction of anisotropy (crystalline fast and slow axes orientation) in birefringent specimens.

  • Libyan Desert Glass (sometimes referred to as Egypt or Egyptian Desert Glass) is a rare impact glass, similar to a tektite.  This specimen was found near the Libyan/Egyptian border. It is associated with an ancient meteorite impact, which occurred somewhere in the North African deserts. This specimen is translucent.  The collection of this  Desert Glass is now  prohibited by the Egyptian government.  Recent discoveries show that samples of desert glass were used in the Tutankhamun head dress.

  • A sample of Uranium ore conglomerate from Ontario Canada..The uranium is the dark material between the large quartz pebbles..Uranium ore is also called pitchblende.  Pitchblende is a form of the uranium ore (uranium oxide).  This highly radioactive black ore is made up of uranium (U) and oxygen (O) in the chemical formula U3O8. As an uranium source it is important for the nuclear industry. .This is part of a series.  The other images in the series show the radiation from this specimen.
