We use a 36 watt fluorescent lamp specifically designed for viewing displayed fluorescent minerals. UVC Shortwave-254 nanometers, UVA Longwave-365 nanometers. The lamp was built and designed by "Way Too Cool" of AZ.
Our minerals are photographed dry, and no type of of photo enhancement is employed, as it appears under our lamp is how it photoed and is presented on our listings. We display shortwave photos and long wave photos. Not all UV minerals fluoresce under all UV waves. These items will not fluoresce as shown in our photos with a poster lamp. They will fluoresce as shown if you are using a fluorescent mineral lamp, designed for that purpose.
Please remember there are many factors to consider, such as
how your computer monitor displays the photos. Also SW minerals will not
fluoresce with most of the UV flashlights.
We use bubble wrap to protect smaller and fragile items to insure safe shipping. All rough is photographed wet to show what the colors will look like polished.
