Welcome to the Virtual

Fluorescent Display


To see a quick demonstration of what you will see when you visit us at the Show, click on the display case to turn on the UV lights. The specimens will fluoresce (glow) different colors because of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation. When you are done viewing the specimens under the UV lights, click on the display case again to turn the natural lights back on.


Typically each mineral will flouresce best in one of three different wavelengths of UV radiation: longwave, shortwave, and midwave. All wavelengths are featured in our displays.

Each year we feature about six showcases of fluorescent mineral specimens from around the world. These are on loan from our members and members of the Bay Area Fluorescent Society.
