Switch off the lights, click it on, and Yooperlite flares orange, volcano agate turns neon green and fluorite can glow blue. It is small enough to live on your crystal shelf or in a pocket, and it charges over USB, so there are no batteries to keep buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWavelength:\u003c\/strong\u003e true 365nm longwave UV, the wavelength collectors use to bring out fluorescence in \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/uv-reactive-crystals\"\u003eUV reactive crystals\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e USB rechargeable with a 14500 rechargeable battery, so it is ready again after a charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e a mini, pocket-friendly body that fits easily in a hand, bag or drawer.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e black finish with a simple click switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest for:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/yooperlite-crystals\"\u003eYooperlite\u003c\/a\u003e, fluorite, calcite, selenite and glowing agates.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's included:\u003c\/strong\u003e one 365nm UV flashlight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know:\u003c\/strong\u003e fluorescence strength varies from stone to stone, and a dark room gives the most dramatic glow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy 365nm Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany inexpensive black lights run at 395nm. They throw a lot of visible purple light, which washes over a crystal and hides much of its real glow. A 365nm light sits deeper in the longwave UV range, so far less purple spills onto the stone and the true fluorescence shows through. That is why mineral collectors reach for 365nm when they want to see the bright orange in Yooperlite, the green fire in volcano agate or the soft blue in many \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fluorite-crystals\"\u003efluorite crystals\u003c\/a\u003e.

Keep the lens clean with a soft, dry cloth. Never shine UV light into anyone's eyes or at pets, and keep it out of reach of young children. Use it for viewing and inspection rather than leaving it on a crystal for hours, since long UV exposure can slowly fade some light-sensitive stones. Store it in a cool, dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this make all crystals glow?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo light makes every stone glow. Fluorescence depends on natural trace minerals inside each crystal. Yooperlite, many fluorites, calcites, selenite and some agates respond well. Quartz and many dark stones show little or nothing, which is normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does a 365nm light look dimmer than a purple party light?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour eyes barely see 365nm light, so the beam itself looks faint. That is a good thing. The less visible purple there is, the more clearly the crystal's own glow stands out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I charge it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt charges over USB using its rechargeable 14500 battery. Plug it in until the battery is full, then unplug and enjoy. Recharge whenever the beam starts to fade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to use around crystals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, for normal viewing. Short sessions do not harm crystals. Avoid leaving it pointed at a stone for long periods, and never look into the beam or shine it at people or pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it a good gift?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt makes a great add-on gift for anyone who collects crystals. Pair it with a Yooperlite or volcano agate piece so they can see the glow the moment they open it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is UV Fluorescence?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFluorescence happens when a mineral absorbs invisible ultraviolet light and gives it back as visible color. Tiny natural impurities, called activators, cause the effect. In Yooperlite, fluorescent sodalite glows fiery orange. In volcano agate, trace minerals glow neon green. Fluorite often glows blue, and calcite can glow red, orange or pink. The same stone can look plain in daylight and spectacular under UV, which is why so many collectors keep a 365nm light beside their display.
