1. Franklinite Ore Fluorescing Under Ultra Violet Radiation: A Vibrant Display of Zinc Minerals This photograph showcases the stunning fluorescent display of Franklinite ore under ultra violet radiation. The image reveals a mesmerizing interplay of colors as calcite, willemite, zincite, and franklinite come to life under the influence of this specialized light. Franklinite, the primary focus of this image, appears as a striking black mineral against the backdrop of its fluorescent companions. This carbonate mineral, native to the calcite group, is often found in association with other zinc minerals, such as willemite and zincite. In its natural state, franklinite is typically gray or brown, but under ultra violet radiation, it transforms into a captivating black specimen. The pink hue emanating from the calcite crystals adds a delightful contrast to the scene. Calcite, a common mineral in the carbonate class, is known for its wide range of colors and forms. The pink coloration in this image is due to the presence of manganese impurities. The green willemite crystals and blue zincite crystals further enhance the visual allure of this photograph. Willemite and zincite are both oxide minerals, with willemite displaying a zinc silicate structure and zincite exhibiting a zinc oxide structure. Under ultra violet radiation, they emit their characteristic green and blue fluorescence, respectively. This studio shot provides a captivating glimpse into the world of mineral fluorescence, showcasing the unique properties of these zinc-bearing minerals. The interplay of colors and the transformation under ultra violet radiation make for an intriguing and visually appealing display.
