This complete beginner’s fluorescent mineral kit includes a filtered shortwave UV light, 5 different color fluorescent minerals, and an educational guide.  Shortwave is preferred by rockhounders because 90% of all fluorescent minerals respond only to filtered shortwave UV, filtering shortwave increases the effectiveness by reducing the amount of visible light emitted by the bulb.

This wonderful kit is just the thing to get you started in the fantastic world of fluorescent minerals.  Other uses for this handy little lamp include stamp collecting, science experiments, counterfeit detection, and more.
