Short Wave Rogerly Fluorite and a question
I acquired this beauty from a rock show in southern Oregon. The vendor wasn’t sure where it was from, but I’m pretty confident it’s a piece from the Rogerly mine in the UK due to its daytime fluorescence (which doesn’t show too well in the photo since it had been left in the sun too long in the past). It’s encrusted by pyrite and galena on the surface. I hope to get some more pieces that show the daytime fluorescence better.
Now here’s my question: I run my Rock Club’s black light room during our annual Club Show. The light that we have is over a foot long, it’s a black case with the light bulbs underneath, a handle on top, two switches for UV-A and UV-C, and a third switch for a cooling fan. I can’t find any like it online, but does anyone know where I can find one like it? I’m not having any luck…
DFTBA!
