I have hundreds of fluorescent minerals available from famous and rare locations around the world. If you are looking for a particular specimen, E-mail me and I will send you a list of those specimens available and a photo(s).
In addition to the single specimens shown here, I will soon be offering beginner  boxed mineral collections of Shortwave U.V.
Longwave collections are perfect for the novice collector and a great way to learn about the world of fluorescent minerals.
