Filter View by Major REGION/LOCALITY
​
Fluorescent minerals are found all over the world. Some localities produce many varieties of specimens (the mines around Franklin NJ, the Ilimaussaq Complex in Greenland, Langban Sweden, etc.). In other areas only a few different types are found (or have been discovered). This list provides a manageable filter to view these specific geographic localities.
Below the region filter you can view minerals by wavelength, characteristic, or blog discussion.
