[Rockhounds] book

[Axel Emmermann]

Hi Robert,

If you're an FMS member you can order the Henkel Glossary on line. Tables
with minerals and their responses to UV.
If you aren't yet, come see us at http://www.uvminerals.org/

As far as I know there are no good "photo books" that can serve as a field
guide. There are some books with some photos and there are some books with
LOTS of photos but fluorescence is a very unreliable phenomenon. It may
differ greatly from place to place so you may need a 1000 photos just to
describe the fluorescence of calcite worldwide alone.

with a bucketful of someone else's vomit. You nauseate people around you
with something that isn't even yours to begin with." -- Axel Emmermann June
