Alkali Halide Melt #151 -- UV
Synthetic fluorescent mineral experiment.
Synthesized Sphalerite/Wurtzite attempt
On an aluminum foil surface, table salt (NaCl) was melted with some sulfer and small amount of zinc sulfide after being hydrated with aqueous solutions of zinc chloride and manganese sulfate.
Pennies were placed at the bottom before melting.
Heat source: MAPP gas torch.
Shown under UV light.
FOV: ~3" wide
