Download or read book Collecting Fluorescent Minerals written by Stuart Schneider and published by Schiffer Pub Limited. This book was released on 2010 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised and Expanded 2nd Edition. Seeing fluorescent minerals up close for the first time is an exciting experience. The colors are so pure and the glow is so seemingly unnatural, that it is hard to believe they are natural rocks. Hundreds of glowing minerals are shown, including Aragonite, Celestine, Feldspar, Microcline, Picropharmacolite, Quartz, Spinel, Smithsonite, plus many more. But dont let the hard-to-pronounce names keep you away. Over 870 beautiful color photographs illustrate how fluorescent minerals look under UV light and in daylight, making this an invaluable field guide.Here are minerals from the United States, including mines in New Jersey, New York, Arizona, and California, as well as beautiful and unusual minerals from Canada, Mexico, Greenland, Italy, Sweden, and other places. Included are values, a comprehensive resources section, plus helpful advice on caring for, collecting, and displaying minerals. The field of collecting fluorescent minerals is relatively new and this is one of the most complete references available.

Download or read book The Collector s Book of Fluorescent Minerals written by Manuel A. Robbins and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last several decades, the number of people who are actively involved in the hobby or science of mineral collecting has grown at an increasing pace. In response to the growing demand for informa tion which this large and active group has created, a number of books have been published dealing with mineralogy. As a result, the reader now has a choice among mineral locality guides, field handbooks, photo collections, or books dedicated to the systematic description of minerals. However, as interest in mineralogy has grown, as collectors have become increasingly knowledgeable and aware of mineralogy in its many facets, the need for more specialized information has also grown. Nowhere is this need greater than in the subject of the fluorescence of minerals. The number of collectors who now main tain a fluorescent collection is substantial, interest is constantly increasing, and manufacturers have recently responded by the intro duction of new ultraviolet equipment with major improvements in utility and performance. Yet when the collector searches for any information on this subject, little will be found. He or she will seek in vain for the answers to questions which present themselves as in terest in fluorescent minerals grows and matures. Which minerals fluoresce? Where are fluorescent minerals found? What makes a mineral fluoresce? Why does ultraviolet light produce fluorescence? What is an activator, and how does it contribute to fluorescence? On these matters, the available mineralogy books are largely silent.
Download or read book Minerals Fossils and Fluorescents of Arizona written by Neil R. Bearce and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the author of "Minerals of Arizona-a Field Guide for Collectors", comes a second field guide for Arizona collectors. This is not an updated version of "Minerals of Arizona", but an entirely new, expanded field guide designed for not only the mineral collector, but for fossil and fluorescent collectors as well. No other Arizona rockhound book contains special independent sctions on fossils and fluorescents. The field research for this work took over 3 years during which the author traveled over 25,000 miles across Arizona and visited over 300 potential collecting sites. To aide the collector, Minerals, Fossils, and Fluorescents includes: - 90 collecting sites complete with site photographs and National Geographic Topo! (C) maps. - Global positioning system coordinates for each location. - A difficulty scale informing the reader of the effort required to reach, navigate, and collect at each site. - chapters covering the basic science of the minerals, fossils, and fluorescents to be collected. - The geological formations at each site and the scientific properties of the speimens found there. - 20 pages of full color photographs of specimens by the well-known mineral photographer Jeffrey Scovil including 5 pages of fluorescent minerals. - Over 400 pages of text, maps, and collecting site and specimen photographs.

Book excerpt: Minerals can be difficult to identify. In addition, many people cannot tell the difference between a rock and a mineral. Minerals come in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colors. Even recognizing the same mineral that has a different color can be a challenge. Mineral Identification Made Easy includes a basic introduction to, and instruction in, minerals. Focusing on some simple principles of identification should help you to sort out some of the conundrums, and make mineral collecting more enjoyable, especially for the lay person. Ten lessons, with final review. Lessons include: ¿What is a Mineral ¿What are Minerals Made of¿The Rock-forming Minerals ¿What the Minerals Look Like in the Rocks ¿The Mineral Families ¿The Feldspar Family of Minerals ¿Identifying Minerals¿Building Your Mineral Collection¿Working with Fluorescent Minerals ¿Gemstones Biblical perspective.

Download or read book Introduction to Radioactive Minerals written by R. J. Lauf and published by Schiffer Publishing. This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Collectors have long admired uranium and thorium minerals for their brilliant colors, intense ultraviolet fluorescence, and rich variety of habits and associates. Radioactive minerals are also critically important as our source of nuclear energy. Understanding them is crucial to the safe disposal of radioactive waste. This book provides a systematic overview of the mineralogy of uranium and thorium, generously illustrated with nearly 200 color photos and electron micrographs of representative specimens. Includes an historical discussion of the discovery of radioactive elements and the development of uranium and thorium ore deposits, a discussion of the geochemical conditions that produce significant deposits, and a description of important localities, their geological setting and history. Major occurrences of interest to mineral collectors are arranged geographically. The minerals are arranged systematically, to emphasize how they fit into chemical groups, and for each group a few minerals are selected to illustrate their formation and general characteristics. With the resurgence of interest in nuclear power, this book is an invaluable guide for mineral collectors as well as nuclear scientists and engineers interested in radioactive deposits.
