Zircon Crystal with Bright Yellow Fluorescent Apatite Inclusions on Matrix Honey calcite A small green tourmaline crystalBeautifully formed zircon crystal, with fluorescent apatite inclusions, on a small amount of matrix mineral. The apatite fluoresces yellow orange with 254nm short wave UV light. PLEASE NOTE: This specimen only fluoresces with 254nm, short wave ultraviolet light. A filtered, high quality lamp is ESSENTIAL. Most multi function, inexpensive UV lights, that claim to be short wave, are in fact either non filtered, or not the correct wavelength. Location:
