Glowing Minerals

Glowing Minerals

Some minerals glow in the dark when illuminated with an ultraviolet light. On this evening trip you will learn the fascinating story of fluorescence, then collect fluorescent minerals after dark. If your kids think playing with flashlites is fun, they'll love our lights which make the ground light up!  We provide shortwave ultraviolet lights. You provide a small flashlight for the short hike to the locality.
