Torbernite

Opal doublets
Opals are not truely crystalline and are therefore mineraloids. They comprise of (hydrated silica glass)

Adamite
A specimen of the mineral adamite (zinc arsenate hydroxide). It is a fluorescent mineral, popular among collectors and shows bright green fluorescent under UV lights

Fluorescent group
A group including amber, ruby, ivory, fluorite and opal photographed in ultra violet light. See 179 for the same group in white light

"Unveiling the Hidden Glow: Fluorescing Wonders in Nature" Step into the mesmerizing world of fluorescence, where nerve and glial cells come alive under a light micrograph. Witness the captivating dance of colors as RNA undergoes electrophoresis, revealing its secrets. But wait, there's more. Rubber ducks may seem ordinary during the day, but at night they transform into glowing companions that add an extra touch of magic to bath time. Nature never ceases to amaze us with its wonders. Stony corals and encrusting corals exhibit natural occurring red and green fluorescence, creating a breathtaking spectacle that is captured for eternity. Venture deep into the depths of Bonaire's Caribbean waters and be enchanted by the nocturnal beauty marine life. The cavernous star coral reveals its radiant hues only when darkness falls upon it. The scroll coral joins this ethereal display, illuminating the underwater realm with its vibrant glow. Even fire worms join in on this fluorescent extravaganza as they shimmer through the night. Not limited to just marine life, even land-dwelling creatures partake in this phenomenon. Behold the scorpionfish as it dons a dusk fluorescing coat in Egypt's Red Sea region – an enchanting sight that adds intrigue to twilight hours. Fluorescence knows no bounds; it thrives both day and night. Dive into Barrier Reef near Saint Georges Caye and witness how fluorescence emerges from beneath tranquil waters once darkness envelops them – a truly awe-inspiring experience. Underwater macro images bring forth another dimension of fluorescence – capturing intricate details hidden beneath waves. Explore these stunning visuals that showcase nature's luminescent artistry like never before. Traveling further east to Palau's Rock Islands-World Heritage Site unveils yet another marvel: Indo Pacific sea anemones bask in daylight fluorescence, adorning their surroundings with a vibrant aura that is simply mesmerizing.
