I had to turn the lights off so we can see these minerals show their hidden colors under ultraviolet light.

New Pictures were taken using a Sony Mavica FD83 digital camera.

Longwave UV pictures were taken using a Tiffen Haze 1 UV filter in front of the objective lens.

The left column lists different mineral species. Each set of photos show how
they appear under normal light and ultraviolet light.
