[Rockhounds] Kunzite

[Axel Emmermann]

Hi list,

 

I just posted a couple of photos of a fluorescent kunzite specimen on the
LKA website. 

Lovely crystal!

There's a spectrum to, which tells you everything you always wanted to know
bout the fluorescence of spodumene but were afraid to ask.

Don't hesitate, go see:

If you're scientifically inclined:

Enjoy
