Turn off the lights, switch this on, and some of your rocks start to glow like neon.
This is a small, rechargeable longwave UV flashlight from Alonefire, tuned to 365nm, the wavelength rock hounds use to make minerals fluoresce. It charges by USB, with a little light that shows red while charging and turns off when it's full. It fits easily in a pocket or a field bag.
Fluorescence is one of the most fun things in the mineral world, and fluorite is actually where the word comes from. Lots of calcite, some opal and plenty of beach rocks light up in surprising colours. Kids go wild for it, and collectors use it to check pieces.
How to use it
- Scan your collection in a dark room
- Take it on night walks or beach trips
- Check which stones glow and which don't
- Turn a sleepover into a rock hunt
Care: Never shine it in anyone's eyes, including pets, and recharge it before it runs fully flat.
