The yellow to orange fluorescence may be fluorapatite and/or beryl. Red may be feldspar. Green could be hyalite and/or uranium minerals. Dark blue areas in the pictures are mostly non-fluorescent areas reflecting the lamp. Some of the light blue areas are mostly white fluorescence plus reflection.Click the thumbnails for larger 2D pictures and other 3D options Stereo Instructions |
