Featured here is a 2-3/8" Lapis with fluorescent Phlogopite, Diopside and 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 and pale blue under SW and orange under LW. This sphere is ready for your awesome home, or collection as it is. The first four photos are SW, and the next four are LW, and the last eight are daylight. The lot weighs about 12 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.
This is a great home made art work sphere for home decor, or sphere collections. Remember, when you give an Endlesscircle sphere, you are giving a one of a kind art work, straight from the earth and AZ USA to your loved one! They have never been in stores, or other collections and are made by two loving artists who care about the work! We hope you find just what you are looking for, and as always, let us know if we can help.
