Inside the Bluebird Mine
Chlorophane, variety
of fluorite
|
Simulated image showing the floor of
the Bluebird Mine after exposing the chlorophane fluorite to
UV then turning off the light. The greenish phosphorence was
beautiful and long-lasting. Chlorophane should be kept out of
the sun by wrapping it up carefully or it will lose it's phosporescence,
we've heard. |

Another simulation showing another combination
of fluorescent minerals found at the Bluebird Mine. This represents
a combination of scheelite (white), apatite (yellow) and the
greenish chlorophane. |
We also collected non-fluorescent heubnerite
in front of the Bluebird Mine. |
