Andersonite Fluorescent Secondary MineralizationLittle Eva Mine - Yellow Cat Mesa - Grand County UtahFluorescent Andersonite Patches on and in a Uranium Ore Matrix This sample is Andersonite Na2Ca(UO2)(CO3)3·6(H2O) Fluorescent Secondary Mineral on and in a Uranium Ore Matrix. The fluorescence is very nice as shown in the pictures below. The sample is from Little Eva Mine - Yellow Cat Mesa - Grand County Utah. Add this to your rare Uranium Ore collection and have fun with the fluorescence of the Andersonite. All shipments are ground transportation in a strong corrugated box with total compliance with the United States Post Office Publication 52. As with all mineral samples a possible hazard exists. Buyers should be aware of the elemental composition of a sample and understand any safety concerns. All mineral shipments are shipped with careful packaging of the sample and then the packaged sample is suspended in the center of a strong corrugated box for shipment and in compliance with United States Postal Circular USPS 52. I combine shipping for multiple purchases. Shipping rates not listed will be calculated at time of sale. Fluorescent Minerals are a wonderful addition to the Scientific Products I sell. Willemite has the most brilliant Greenish Fluorescence when illuminated with Short Wave Ultraviolet Light. Study of Geological Ores and Minerals that Fluoresce can be an insight into the way that electron transitions occur in materials with optical properties. These Fluorescent Minerals have their uses in Scientific Study and in producing beautiful Artwork. Cuprosklodowskite & More Willemite in Short Wave Ultra Violet Autunite in Long Wave Ultra Violet Autunite in Long Wave Ultra Violet Calcite(red) w/ Willemite(green) in Short Wave Ultra Violet Bustamite in Short Wave Ultra Violet Mixed Fluorescents in Short Wave Ultra Violet Esperite (Yellow) in Short Wave Ultra Violet Hardystonite (Violet-Blue), Calcite (Red),Willemite (Green), Clinohedrite (Orange) in Short Wave Ultra Violet Wollastonite Yellow in SW UV - CaSiO3 I use these 3 different Ultraviolet Lights. The ones on the outside are Mineralights, while the one in the center is a UVP UVG-11 254nm Shortwave UV lamp. The colors seen with the different lights are strikingly different. The SW UV Mineralight has output in a broader spectrum than does the UVG-11 at 254nm. The study of geology can be a great adventure. T are many types of mineral and ore samples. Common minerals such as quartz are made up of the elements silicon and oxygen. Rutile is made up of titanium and oxygen. Bauxite is made up of aluminum and oxygen. Elements which we come into contact everyday include: hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and many more. Materials which are important in the energy economy of the world include nuclear materials. Elements in these nuclear materials include: Uranium, Thorium, Plutonium, Radon, Radium, lead, bismuth, polonium, americium, beryllium, boron, iron, nickel, cobalt and many more. The materials which are used in nuclear energy operations are referred to as radioactive. Radioactive substances emit radiation. T are many types of radiation: heat, microwaves, light, x-rays, gamma rays, cosmic rays, beta (electrons), alpha particles (helium nuclei), neutrons, neutrinos, and others. Detection of these emissions can be measured by use of Geiger Muller detectors (Geiger Counters), Scintillometer Detectors (NaI w/ Tl - Sodium Iodide crystals doped with Thallium Scintillator crystals), Barium tri-Fluoride detectors, proportional counters, cloud chambers and other detector equipment and schemes. Radiation Detectors I use in my research include those manufactured by Technical Associates, Ludlum, Eberline, Bicron and others, with my principal Geiger Counter manufactured by Technical Associates. To be a trained radiological measurements student / professional / person, you need t... read more
