Description:
A small cerussite crystal group of which the faces have been etched slightly. It fluoresces in long wave UV but becomes VERY sexy indeed in violet laser light. In this particular \"coherent\" lighting method, the edges of the crystals stand out prominently. This are stacks of 50 photo\'s.
Summary of luminescence responses:
Cerussite
- Fluorescence under Longwave (365nm LED) UV light: Yellow
- Fluorescence under 405nm blue laser: Yellow
