A friend brought over his digital camera setup this past Saturday and he took pictures of fluorescent minerals from my collection. This was his first effort at photographing fluorescent minerals, and my first time photographing these rocks with something besides a cellphone camera. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Fluorescent green hyalite opal from Zacatecas, Mexico, shown under shortwave UV light. More photos of and details about this specimen can also be found at http://www.esoterizona.com/2016/02/esoterizona-stones-39.html.
