Hello Axel,  I am one of those that look for very interesting things to
learn. I am editor of our mineral club's [ the Mid-Hudson Valley Gem &
Mineral Society] newsletter and would like permission to borrow information
about fluorescence from the website I just viewed  the fluorescing
swedenborgite.  Our club is in Poughkeepsie not that far from Sterling Hill
and Franklin, New Jersey.  We do have some new members asking about "glowing
rocks".
I would like to be able to offer basic information about fluorescence in our
newsletter.  

Thank you, 
Sincerely,
Carolyn Reynard  [FMS 0729]

Hi cher colleagues,

 

how does one photograph a blue fluorescing water clear crystal that is
embedded in fiercely red fluorescing calcite? And how does one measure its
spectrum?

Well, with perseverance and lots of valium.

Anyhow, I did both and placed it on my website for you to enjoy.

It's worth a peek, so go see: http://fluo.mineralogie.be/homeENG.html and
follow the link in the BLOG or go directly there:

Enjoy

Axel
