19 new fluorescent minerals to the United States Showcase

Today I have added 19 new specimens to the United States Showcase Page of my website. 

The specimens are all sphalerite from a fairly recent find in Montana.  The sphalerite fluoresces in a multitude of colors under longwave ultraviolet light.  Some of the colors include yellow/orange, pink, violet, pale blue and even red!  You may have seen some of these sphalerites for sale on EBAY or social media platforms.  Those people selling this material may have had permission to own these specimens but were never given permission to sell them.  That is why their posts were quickly removed.  The mine owner’s representative contacted me and asked if I would be willing to sell these sphalerite specimens on behalf of the owner.  I agreed, and currently have these 19 specimens for sale.

The sphalerite from this locality will respond to longwave tube lighting.  However, they respond best to longwave LED lighting.  I understand that some people do not own longwave LED flashlights.  For this reason, I have photographed these specimens under both a 36-watt longwave tube lamp and a Convoy C8+ LED flashlight.  If you do not own a longwave LED flashlight, I do have two types available for purchase on my website.
