Esoterizona Stones 22

Fluorescent Minerals

All three of these specimens were found during a daylight visit to a secluded little mine near Picacho. It was a pleasant surprise to find that under shortwave UV their fluorescence ranges from bright yellow to starlight white. Probably powellite. Will have to revisit this location at night for more of this and whatever else might be out there.
