I DEVELOPED THIS WEBSITE TO SHARE MY KNOWLEDGE OF CRYSTALS

(THIS IS OVER A FOURTY YEAR COLLECTION.)

THERE ARE SEVERAL PAGES OF DESCRIPTIONS Of flourencent Minerals

Flourescense

The following tables describe most of the important fluorescent minerals.

The tables are arranged according to the color of fluorescence and alphabetically, within each color group. The five color groupings are as follows:

          Blue

          Orange, Yellow, Gold

          Green

          Red, Pink

          White, Cream

Because the fluorescent minerals of Franklin and Ogdensburg are so distinctive they are separately described and are listed alphabetically in the section titled THE FLUORESCENT MINERALS OF FRANKLIN, NEW JERSEY.

The following abbreviations are used:

SW -- shortwave

LW -- longwave

ph -- phosphorescence or phosphoresces

fl -- fluorescence or fluoresces
