Glowing Minerals from a Fossil Deposit
Earlier
I posted some pictures of wavellite crystals I found in a Silurian marine fossil deposit. Here they are again, viewed under normal light
and under ultraviolet light. They don't just fluoresce, they
phosphoresce, meaning that they absorb light and continue to glow after
the lamp is turned off. The green circles are the wavellite. The orange
matrix is limestone. These were found in Snyder County, Pennsylvania.
