Now You Don't See It- Now You Do

More florescence from our trip to Sterling Mining Museum. The left side shows you what florescent rocks look like without any special lighting. The right side shows you what they look like when you put them under black light. The rocks on the left side are those in the bottom on the right. This section of the mine has been carved out just for the tour and is called "The Rainbow Room". I think you can figure out why. Pretty cool!

What a spectacular exhibition! How strange to see it turned florescence just because of black light. A beautiful diptych to compare the difference

Thank you everybody- I'm glad you liked this. Didn't expect to see it on the PP! It is fun to see the rocks glow this way. I'm not sure how they discovered it though. That's something I'll have to research when I've got a few moments to spare. But today it's waterfalls and a picnic with Leigh.

Amazing rocks and a great diptych.

@wendyfrost Thank you Wendy! It is pretty surprising when they turn the lights off and put the blue lights on.
