Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MOST zincite does not fluoresce, but this one does! In fact, it wasn’t until more powerful Longwave (365nm) UV lights were recently developed that the mineral community even realized zincite COULD, in some cases, fluoresce! And this is a GREAT example of that! Lots and Lots of Rust-red zincite that fluoresces yellow-green under a powerful longwave UV light (like the FyrFly by Engenious Designs). This is a Large Franklin fluorescent Zincite with some phosphorescent willemite weighing in at 8.6 ounces (245 g), and measuring approximately 2.50 inches X 1.75 inches X 1.50 inches (6.2 cm X 4.2 cm X 3.6 cm). All the LONGWAVE UV photos (# 1 and 2) were taken with the Hoplite 365nm light. A lamp of similar quality, like the FyrFly, is necessary to see the all the fluorescent zincite well. (Don’t expect a “tube” fluorescent bulb light, no matter the wattage, to fluoresce zincite as well.) Photos # 4, 5, and 6 were taken with an Engenious Designs Midwave flashlight, and Photos # 8 and 9 were taken with a fluorescent shortwave tube lamp. WE BUY OLD FRANKLIN AND STERLING HILL COLLECTIONS, INCLUDING “BASEMENT ROCK BOXES”! For a good quality lamp at a reasonable price, I suggest you consider the offerings of Engenious Designs on the Internet. The manufacturer sells these lamps directly to you (and they are not related to me in any way, and I do not sell these lamps.) I have set the shipping as Ground Advantage Mail. If you plan on bidding on MORE than one rock, let me know BEFORE you pay your invoice, so I may combine shipping to save you money. I can often combine five or six rocks in one box. (However, once you pay, I must ship immediately and cannot combine shipping costs.) If you are the successful bidder, please leave positive feedback. It is much appreciated. If you have any questions, please ask.
