Fluorescent minerals
The world of fluorescent minerals is a fantastic way to experience the magical powers of which the ultraviolet spectrum is capable. Roughly 1000 mineral species react to ultraviolet light by emitting brilliant, pure colors that are a real eye-opener to anyone seeing them for the first time. Of those 1000 species, about 15% react to long wave UV, many very intensely, and long wave UV is what the Hoplite365 delivers in huge amounts. It makes those minerals go crazy. Prospecting in an area with long wave minerals, such as Franklin and Sterling Hill, NJ, at night is an absolute blast!
