Live session #16 Fluorescent minerals

Recorded live session in which I show the phenomenon of fluorescence: minerals that “give light” under the influence of UV light. During this session I give a brief explanation of the mechanism behind fluorescence, show a number of different UV lamps, and especially UV minerals.

For more info, UV lamps and UV minerals I am happy to refer to Colorgems, with whom I have worked for many years.
