Fluorescent Minerals Mid Georgia Gem and Mineral Society
Fluorescence in minerals is caused by a wide range of activators. In some cases, the concentration of the activator must be restricted to below a certain level, to prevent quenching of the fluorescent emission. Furthermore, the mineral must be free of impurities such as iron or copper, to prevent quenching of possible fluorescence.

Fluorescent minerals are often called quot;Glow Rocksquot;. They glow, or fluoresce, under ultraviolet light and emit longer wavelength visible light (Stoke's shift).Invisible UV light from ordinary black lights, LW LEDs, or shortwave mineral lights cause this fluorescence (also called luminescence).

Fluorescent Minerals Microscopy
Most fluorescent minerals require an activator that initiates fluorescence. The activator is a type of impurity of the mineral. One of the most common activators is manganese. Activators are responsible for the types of fluorescence. A mineral may fluoresce different colors or brightnesses when exposed to different activators.
