15 mL of Plaster of Paris was hydrated with 7.5mL of a barium hydroxide solution. On top was added about 1mL of barium carbonate which had a very small amount of CuCl2 crystals ground into it. After the plaster had set it was heated until yellow orange incandescence using a MAPP gas torch.

Uranyl nitrate solution was used to hydrate 15mL of DAP Plaster of Paris mix. The result showed hardly any green uranyl fluorescence, what could be seen was yellowish green. The plaster was then rehydrated using a concentrated sodium carbonate solution. The water was evaporated and the mixture was then calcined at ~150 degC for 4 hours in an oven. It was then rehydrated using a sodium carbonate solution. The plaster mix bubbled for about a half hour releasing much CO2 gas. After drying a coating of yellowish crystals formed on the surface.

Chilled Fluorescent Mineral: Ethiopian Microcline (var. Amazonite) - UVc

 

FOV: 4" wide.

 

From the Kenticha Mine in Ethiopia comes this specimen of microcline - a potassium feldspar also known as Amazonite. To enhance its fluorescence, it was kept in the freezer overnight. Cooling the mineral reduces the amount of thermally based quenching which allows more of the excited electrons to return to their ground state via a fluorescent "jump".

This experiment demonstrates the amount of visible (blue) light reflected or absorbed and then re-emitted at a lower wavelength (fluorescence) in a specimen of hackmanite from Afghanistan. The hackmanite is in a tenebrescent state which makes it purple. This color does not effect the results of this experiment but it does make the hackmanite easier to distinguish from the rest of the rock.

 

A small piece of aluminum foil was placed next to the hackmanite as an example of a "perfect" reflector. It does not fluoresce. Note: for the UVa picture, the foil was removed to prevent accidental exposure to eyes and the camera by the UVa light.

This experiment was an attempt to recreate the fluorescence of chromium activated corundum (aka 'ruby'). Aluminum hydroxide was mixed with 1-4 drops of Cr(III) oxide in a basic solution. This was placed on a small amount of aluminum sulfate in an aluminum foil container and a bit of water was added.

 

The sample was then heated, first with a propane torch until the water was removed and then with a MAPP gas torch until the aluminum sulfate expanded into foam, trapping the aluminum hydroxide which was calcined into aluminum oxide by the torch's flame. (at least that was the plan)

 

Shown also is a natural ruby from Mysore, India.
