A number of minerals contain trace elements that will
fluoresce when illuminated by ultraviolet light. Up to
90% of these minerals will reveal their vivid colors
under short-wave ultraviolet. Small (1-1/2" by 6-1/2" by 1-1/2")
and lightweight, this handheld, battery-operated
short-wave ultraviolet lamp comes with the short-wave
minerals kit, so that you can view the fantastic glowing
colors right away! The short-wave kit contains five
minerals -- agrellite, chalcedony, selenite crystals,
tremolite/tirodite, and willemite/calcite. Each stone is
about 1" square (but sizes vary) and is marked with its
name and the location in which it was found.
Extra care should be taken in the use of short-wave ultraviolet lamps,
especially around children, because it is short-wave
ultraviolet light that causes sunburn. Please note: battery-operated
UV lamps will illuminate to a distance of 2-3" and a circumference
of 1-2", depending upon conditions. If you need a stronger
lamp, try a Rechargeable Short-Wave Lamp. Requires 4 AA
batteries (not included). The UV lamp and
mineral kit are also available for individual purchase.
