Hi HW,
These look great under UV, may i ask, what are they?
Thanks Vintage !!! These are fluorescent minerals from the Franklin Mine and the nearby Sterling Hill mine in NJ.These were taken under shortwave blacklight but some do fluoresce under longwave (common poster blacklight).I am attaching a couple of links...the second one has a serious WOW factor.Check it out .
