For this website I am using the database programming found at Mineralshows.com. You will see the available images posted through that domain but if you return to this page you will only find links to minerals that are fluorescent under Short Wave Ultraviolet light.
Simply click one of the preset buttons below a representative specimen image.
You'll then be presented with a page of specimens to consider.
Thanks for your interest!
