Description
This is a bargain "grab bag" of my rocks. I have lots of rocks that are just sitting around, and I'll never have the time to photograph and describe them all, so here is your opportunity to save BIG! These are NOT just the typical red/green Franklin rocks, although a sample of each will almost assuredly be in each box. This is a mix of a WIDE variety of fluorescent minerals to expand your collection quickly.The photo shown is intended ONLY as a representation of what you could receive, and are not necessarily the specific rocks you will receive, but are representative of the types and fluorescent colors you can expect. Each clearance box will be somewhat different, but you should recognize many of the rocks as similar to those in the photo, and the rocks will weigh AT LEAST 1 pound total. The size of the individual rocks will vary. Some rocks contain more and brighter fluorescence than others. What you see will also depend greatly upon the quality and strength of the UV lamp you use. You will NOT get any rocks that do NOT glow with proper UV mineral lights. (Not all UV lights are mineral lights.)
Some will only fluoresce in Shortwave UV. Others will only fluoresce in Longwave UV. Some may also phosphoresce.
Shown in Shortwave and Longwave simultaneously.
To see the display similar to the photos, you will need both quality Longwave AND quality Shortwave lamps
. I test ALL rocks before including them in this offering, so your rocks WILL fluoresce with the proper lights.
This collection may include minerals such as Diopside, Norbergite, Wollastonite, Fluorapatite, Willemite, Calcite, Sphalerite, Cleiophane, Chlorophane, Fluorite, Rucks Pit Calcite Clam fossil pieces, Hackmanite, Zincite, or Scheelite, among others. The non-fluorescent minerals in these rocks may also include such things as
Franklinite, Hendricksite, Garnet, or Coquina, among others. Specific minerals are not guaranteed, as each rock varies in the minerals it contains.
These rocks will not be labeled. This is what remains of odds and ends in bins that I have for sale, and should be viewed as such. This may include some large rocks or small rocks and chips. (If your box is known to contain Chlorophane, that rock or piece will be wrapped in aluminum foil, as the fluorescence of Chlorophane weakens with exposure to light.)
This collection is shipped using Priority Mail. If you plan on bidding on MORE than one item, let me know BEFORE you pay your invoice, so I may be able to combine shipping to save you money when possible. If you pay before requesting combined shipping, I must ship and cannot adjust your cost.
NOTE: TYPICAL BLACKLIGHTS WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY COLOR. YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD MINERAL LAMP.
Also, the intensity of the color will vary depending on the strength of the lamp you have. I suggest you use a DRK lamp (sold by Engenious Designs), and the Convoy S2+ Longwave UV lamp (available directly from China on eBay from multiple sellers for about ) to view the maximum color output of these rocks.
I do NOT recommend using a "wand" type, or blacklight "flashlight" for these rocks
, as they may
not
show satisfactory color with those inferior lamps.
I can often combine shipping when requested, so if you are bidding on one item, it often makes sense to bid on others I am offering as well for maximum savings. Please ask for combined shipping before ordering this item, as I cannot reduce the cost after you have paid. *** Also note: I cannot combine shipping on International sales. ***
If you are the successful bidder, please leave positive feedback. It is much appreciated. If you have any questions, please ask.
