for the first time is an exciting experience. The colors are so pure and the glow is so seemingly unnatural. Hundreds of glowing minerals are shown, including Aragonite, Celestine, Feldspar, Microcline, Picropharmacolite, Quartz, Spinel, Smithsonite, plus many, more. Over 800 beautiful color photographs illustrate how fluorescent minerals look under the UV light, and in daylight, making this an invaluable field guide. Included are values, a comprehensive resources section, plus helpful advise on caring for, collecting, and displaying minerals. Stuart Schneider, 192 pages, soft cover, 8.5 x 11 inches.
