Langbanite under UV light Geoscience Australia. Fluorescence in minerals occurs when a specific wavelength of light such as ultraviolet (UV) light, electron beams or x-rays are directed at it. This light excites electrons in the mineral causing them to temporarily jump to a higher orbit in the atomic structure.

Ultraviolet is shorter than visible light in wavelength. The name came after the 1801 discovery that sunlight sent through a prism has an invisible component beyond the violet end of the spectrum, causing a reaction in silver chloride solution that darkened it even more than visible light. Ultra-Violet is now abbreviated as UV, and subdivided

· UV for mineral display is a little more complicated than that. Some minerals respond to “longwave” lights – lights around 365 nanometers (nm) in wavelength. Some respond to what is called “shortwave” UV light down around 260nm. There are even some that really only respond (fluoresce) to mid range UV in the 310nm region.
