Fluorescent Fluorite

The minerals were illuminated with a "black" light from the side
(which causes them to glow blue/purple); and
an overhead white light.

This is this Blue that fascinated all my life...
Indigo...a colour that was also very appreciated by the Pharaons...
This is a bit more intense than Lapis lazuli...my favourite stone.

A wonderful transparency captured in those stones, and the blue is beautiful, with hints of purple through it.
