Featured here is a 1-3/8" Hackmanite sphere from Ladjuar Medam (Lajur Madan; Lapis-lazuli Mine; Lapis-lazuli deposit), Sar-e Sang (Sar Sang; Sary Sang), Koksha Valley (Kokscha Valley; Kokcha Valley), Khash & Kuran Wa Munjan Districts, Badakhshan Province (Badakshan Province; Badahsan Province) that fluoresces beautiful, yellow under SW and orange under LW. This sphere is ready for your awesome home, or collection as it is. The first two photos are LW{the opposite of how we usually set up the photos}, and the next two are SW, and the last seven are daylight. The lot weighs about 2.3 ounces.
We have a large selection of fluorescent minerals, for fluorescent hobbyists, and fluorescent mineral spheres as well. When you purchase an Endless Circle sphere it is a one of a kind art work that will fill your home with the beauty and sentiment that an original artwork brings. It is crafted by two loving Artisans, not mass produced in a huge shop. Fluorescent mineral collecting is a hobby that requires specific equipment to view the fluorescence. A black light doesn't work for this purpose.
We use a 36 watt fluorescent lamp specifically designed for viewing displayed fluorescent minerals. Our minerals are photographed dry, and no type of of photo enhancement is employed, as it appears under our lamp is how it photoed and is presented on our listings. We display shortwave photos first, then long wave photos. If the mineral does not fluoresce under one those waves, it will be noted in the listing. These items will not fluoresce as shown with a poster lamp. They will fluoresce as shown if you are using a fluorescent mineral lamp, designed for that purpose.
Please remember there are many factors to consider, such as how your computer monitor displays the photos. Also SW minerals will not fluoresce with most of the UV flashlights.
