$32.00
The UV Reactive Fluorite specimen by Pirate Booty and Crystal Treasures measures approximately 4¼ inches by 5½ inches. Fluorite is renowned for its vibrant fluorescence under ultraviolet (UV) light, a phenomenon first observed by George Stokes in 1852.
Key Features:
- Dimensions: Approximately 4¼" x 5½"
- Material: Natural fluorite, known for its fluorescent properties
- UV Reactivity: Emits a distinctive glow under UV light, typically displaying blue or violet hues
Fluorescence Details:
The fluorescence in fluorite is primarily due to the presence of certain impurities within its crystal structure. These impurities, such as europium ions, replace calcium ions, leading to the emission of visible light when exposed to UV radiation.
Display and Care:
- Viewing: To fully appreciate its UV reactive properties, illuminate the specimen with a UV light source in a darkened environment.
- Handling: Fluorite is relatively soft; handle with care to prevent scratches or damage.
- Cleaning: Avoid prolonged exposure to water. Clean gently with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
