Product Overview
This expanded kit features 15 numbered mineral specimens, each approximately 1.5" × 1.5", chosen for their unique fluorescent responses to ultraviolet (UV) light. Ideal for middle school and up (Grades 6+, Ages 11+), the collection enables detailed study of fluorescence under both shortwave (254 nm) and longwave (366 nm) UV exposure.
To observe fluorescence, you’ll need a UV light source. We recommend the Dual-Wavelength UV Lamp (Shortwave & Longwave), designed for educational use.
