Texture: Natural, unpolished, and raw for an authentic "straight from the earth" look.
Condition: Natural specimens; please see photos for exact size and detail.

Information for Your Customer
The UV Secret: These rocks contain minerals that absorb invisible ultraviolet light and re-emit it as visible light. This is known as fluorescence.
The Right Light Matters: To get the best "glow" shown in UV photography, a 365nm UV flashlight (filtered) is highly recommended. Standard purple "blacklights" (395nm) may not make the minerals pop as intensely.
Origin: Often found in glacial till or specific volcanic regions, these types of rocks (like the famous "Yooperlites") are prized for their surprising hidden beauty.
