Check out the new Image Database
Every week we list fluorescent minerals from around the world on eBay. Over the years a large library of pictures has built up and they have been posted in our Image Database. Access is by color, name or locale. Scheelite from Korea, Apatite from Pakistan, fluorescent wonders from Arizona, as well as Greenland, are all included. The database is updated with new specimens every month.
The mineralogy of the Ilimaussaq Complex, South Greenland has been studied for two centuries. Over 200 minerals have been identified from this unique complex - over 15 of them only found here. Ilimaussaq is the type locality for dozens of alkaline minerals including tugtupite, ussingite, polylithionite, chkalovite, and more! In the past several years this area has become a world-class locale for fluorescent minerals and super tenebrescent hackmanite.
Check out our Power Point presentation on the History of Fluorescent Minerals from Greenland - a great overview of the minerals and collecting in Greenland.
