Ye Ming Zhu

Explore the world of natural fluorescence

Why Do They Glow?

Fluorescence occurs when specific impurities known as "activators" are present within the mineral. These activators are typically cations of metals such as: tungsten, molybdenum, lead, boron, titanium, manganese, uranium, and chromium. When a source of radiation excites electrons in the stone, causing them to jump to a higher energy level. The electron stays in this state for a short period of time and then returns to its ground state. 

At A&A Rockshop, we offer a unique peek into the wonders of fluorescent crystals and minerals with our walk-in blacklight room! Full of a variety of naturally glowing goodies, this room is perfect for viewing the wonderous effects ultraviolet lights can create.

"The Ye Ming Zhu's are on a level of their own. Not only do they have an amazing history, but also continue to fluoresce outside of UV lights."

Kirstin's Favorite:

"I may be a bit biased because ruby is my favorite overall, but I think the hue it shines puts any description to shame. Under UV it's a stunning bright red that firetrucks aspire to compete with."

"I really like the mango calcites because the glow is so ethereal!"
