UPDATE!!! I continue to add a wide variety of NEW and VARIED rocks to this offering! I make a serious attempt to include MANY different colors in each box. I expect ALL boxes will have at least 5 or 6 colors, if not more, in them! Not just the typical low-quality red and green seen in other offers.
I have lots of rocks that arejust sitting around, many of them medium to high quality, and I'll never have the time to photograph and describethem all, so here is your opportunity to save BIG! These are NOT just thetypical red/green Franklin rocks, although a sample of each will almostassuredly be in each box. This is a mix of a WIDE variety of fluorescent minerals to expand yourcollection quickly. Colors you might receive include Blue, Orange, Yellow, White, Red, Purple, Green and/or pink. The rocks are randomly selected to provide a range of colors.
The photoshown is intended ONLY as a representation of what you could receive, and arenot the specific rocks you will receive, but are representative ofthe types and fluorescent colors you can expect. Each clearance box willbe somewhat different, but you should recognize many of the rocks as similar tothose in the photo, and the rocks will weigh AT LEAST 1 pound total. Thesize and number of the individual rocks will vary. Some rocks contain more andbrighter fluorescence than others. What you see will also depend greatlyupon the quality and strength of the UV lamp you use. You will NOT get anyrocks that do NOT glow with proper UV mineral lights. (Not all UV lightsare mineral lights.)
Some will onlyfluoresce in Shortwave UV. Others will only fluoresce in LongwaveUV. Some may even phosphoresce.
Shown inShortwave and Longwave simultaneously. To see the display similar to thephotos, you will need both quality Longwave 365nm AND quality Shortwave 254/255nm lamps.I test ALL rocks before including them in this offering, so your rocks WILLfluoresce with the proper lights. You really need both UV wavelengths (254nm and 365nm) in QUALITY flashlights or display lamps to see fluorescence on all the rocks included. Cheap lights may only show purple, if anything.
Thiscollection may include minerals such as Diopside, Norbergite, Wollastonite,Fluorapatite, Willemite, Calcite, Sphalerite, Cleiophane, Chlorophane, Agrellite, Sodalite,Hackmanite, Zincite, or Scheelite, among others. The non-fluorescent minerals in these rocks may also include such things as Franklinite, Hendricksite, or Magnetite, among others. Specific minerals are not guaranteed, as each rock varies in the minerals it contains.
These rockswill NOT be labeled. This may include some largerocks or small rocks. Most will equal or exceed two inches in length. (If your box is known to containChlorophane, that rock or piece will be wrapped in aluminum foil, as thefluorescence of Chlorophane weakens with exposure to light.)
Thiscollection is shipped using Priority Mail. If you buy two pounds, the second pound can fit in the same box and I have set it so there is at no additional shipping cost to you. More than two pounds does entail additional shipping cost.
If you plan on offerding on MORE than one rock, let me knowBEFORE you pay your invoice, so I may combine shipping to save you money. I am happy to combine shipping on multipleitems when possible. If you wishtopurchase multiple specimensand combine them in oneshipment,click on "Add to Cart" for each item.Then, goto your cart and click on "Request total from seller".I will determine the most cost-effective box size andadjust the shippingprice to reflect your savings and send you an invoice for the lot.
NOTE:TYPICAL BLACKLIGHTS WILL NOT DISPLAY ANY COLOR. YOU MUST HAVE GOODMINERAL LAMPS.Also, the intensity of the color will vary depending on the strength of thelamp you have.
For those wanting to see their fluorescent minerals at theirbest for a reasonable price, I HIGHLY recommend the Cerberus Triple wavelengthflashlight from Engenious Designs. This combination flashlight offers allthree major mineral UV wavelengths (short, mid, and long) in a quality you willnot regret.
WARNING!! DO NOT use the Alonefire 365nm light with these rocks! It appears to be an unfiltered light, and will NOT show the colors of most of these rocks as well as they should be seen!
Looking for a great UVlight at the best price? Check out the offerings of Engenious Designs on the Internet. They are not related to me in any way - just good people with great lights!
I can oftencombine shipping when requested, so if you are offerding on one item, it oftenmakes sense to offer on others I am offering as well for maximum savings.Please ask for combined shipping before ordering this item, as I cannot reducethe cost after you have paid. *** Also note: I cannot combineshipping on International sales. ***
Please leave positive response. It is muchappreciated. If you have any questions, please ask.
