UPDATE!!! I have added a wide variety of NEW and VARIED rocks to this offering! I make a serious attempt to include MANY different colors in each box. I expect ALL boxes will have at least 5 or 6 colors, if not more, in them!
I have lots of rocks that are
just sitting around, many of them medium to high quality, and I'll never have the time to photograph and describe
them all, so here is your opportunity to save BIG! These are NOT just the
typical red/green Franklin rocks, although a sample of each will almost
assuredly be in each box. This is a mix of a WIDE variety of fluorescent minerals to expand your
collection quickly. Colors you might receive include Blue, Orange, Yellow, White, Red, Purple, Green and/or pink. The rocks are randomly selected to provide a range of colors.
The photo shown is intended ONLY as a representation of what you could receive, and are not the specific rocks you will receive, but are representative of the types and fluorescent colors you can expect. Each clearance box will be somewhat different, but you should recognize many of the rocks as similar to those in the photo, and the rocks will weigh AT LEAST 1 pound total. The size and number of the individual rocks will vary. Some rocks contain more and brighter fluorescence than others. What you see will also depend greatly upon the quality and strength of the UV lamp you use. You will NOT get any rocks that do NOT glow with proper UV mineral lights. (Not all UV lights are mineral lights.)
Some will only fluoresce in Shortwave UV. Others will only fluoresce in Longwave UV. Some may even phosphoresce.
Shown in Shortwave and Longwave simultaneously. To see the display similar to the photos, you will need both quality Longwave 365nm AND quality Shortwave 254/255nm lamps. I test ALL rocks before including them in this offering, so your rocks WILL fluoresce with the proper lights. IMPORTANT! If all you have is a cheap UV light, I suggest you not buy these rocks. A decent filtered longwave mineral light starts at about $50 and a decent filtered shortwave UV starts at about $150. You really need both to see fluorescence on all the rocks included.
This
collection may include minerals such as Diopside, Norbergite, Wollastonite,
Fluorapatite, Willemite, Calcite, Sphalerite, Cleiophane, Chlorophane, Agrellite, Sodalite,
Hackmanite, Zincite, or Scheelite, among others. The non-fluorescent minerals in these rocks may also include such things as Franklinite, Hendricksite, or Magnetite, among others. Specific minerals are not guaranteed, as each rock varies in the minerals it contains.
These rocks will NOT be labeled. This may include some large rocks or small rocks. Most will equal or exceed two inches in length. (If your box is known to contain Chlorophane, that rock or piece will be wrapped in aluminum foil, as the fluorescence of Chlorophane weakens with exposure to light.)
This collection is shipped using Priority Mail. If you plan on bidding on MORE than one item, let me know BEFORE you pay your invoice, so I may be able to combine shipping to save you money when possible. If you pay before requesting combined shipping, I must ship and cannot adjust your cost.
NOTE: TYPICAL BLACKLIGHTS WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY COLOR. YOU MUST HAVE GOOD MINERAL LAMPS. Also, the intensity of the color will vary depending on the strength of the lamp you have.
