Find Gems, Minerals, Gold and silver with Ultra violet light, a valuable prospector's tool.

Published on Sat, Apr 27th 2024 Howto & Style Rectangular HD

Want to know about a high-tech tool that can help you find minerals, gemstones and even gold? Today we are going to talk about prospecting with ultraviolet light. It can be a really great tool and just light up the gems and minerals you want to find, making them stand out and glow. While its not a perfect tool, in some cases it works great. Ultra-violet light can help you as a prospector. Ultraviolet light is an important and has a place in the tool box for many prospectors. Certain minerals will just light up and glow – often with bright colors – when illuminated with a UV lamp. That’s when the UV lamp can really be a super helpful tool to find valuable ores and minerals.
I did a 3 part series on how to identify minerals that will help you learn how to do it.
