FROG-06-01
Very Rare, Classic Shortwave & Midwave Ultraviolet Fluorescent Combination Mineral Specimen from the Parker Shaft, Franklin, New Jersey, USA!
A Fairly Large "Parker Shaft Soup" Piece Featuring a Very Unusual Mix of UV & Daylight Minerals! At Least 9-10 Distinct Mineral Species Present, Several of Which are Type Locality Minerals!
*Note: ID's Listed are to the Best of My Ability Based on 15+ Years of Experience Specifically with Franklin Area Minerals, and They are Definitely Accurate for the Most Part. The UV Yellow/Cream Material Could Use Some Lab/Analytical Testing to Verify the Definitive ID(s), and It's also Possible that Some of the SW UV Red Material Could Be Roeblingite Rather than Axinite-Mn or Calcite too!

The First 8 Fluorescent Pics are Shortwave (SW) UV Light & were Taken Using a 35w WayTooCool SW UV Light. The Last 3 Fluorescent Pics Show the Midwave UV Response Using an FS Hunter L6 Pro 310nm LED Flashlight.
Fluorescent Response Will Vary Based on Strength of Light Used, but Any Decent Light of the Proper Wavelength(s) Will Produce Similar Responses to the Pics!
Please Note: Fluorescent Minerals Require a Shortwave (SW), Midwave (MW) and/or Longwave (LW) Ultraviolet (UV) Light for the Fluorescent Response Shown in the Pictures! a Black Light is NOT a SW/MW/LW Light, although Some Rocks May also Show Under Black Light as well!
