Synthetic Fluorescent Mineral Experiment: Baloneystone Bakery (copper pans) - UVc

 

FOV: 4" wide.

 

Baloneystonite phosphor (aka BaS:Cu) created using BaSO4{3 Spn}, flour{1ml}, sugar{1ml} and CuCl2*2H2O{~30 grains}. All but the center sample also contained NaCl. The rightmost sample was made with Alfa Aesar BaSO4. The other samples were made with BaSO4 provided by Gordon Czop.

Key:

WL = White light (halogen + LED)

FL = Fluoresces

PHOS = Phosphorescent

BL = 450nm,

UVa = 368nm (LW), UVb = 311nm (MW), UVc = 254nm (SW)

'>' = "stimulated by:", '!' = "bright", '~' = "dim"

 

My appreciation to Gordon Czop for providing the BaSO4.
