  2. Luminous gemstones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_gemstones

    The OED defines pyrope (from Greek Πυρωπός, lit. "fire-eyed")" as: "In early use applied vaguely to a red or fiery gem, as ruby or carbuncle; (mineralogy) the Bohemian garnet or fire-garnet"; and carbuncle or carbuncle-stone (from Latin "carbunculus", "small glowing ember") as: "A name variously applied to precious stones of a red or ...

  3. Phosphorescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorescence

    Some examples of glow-in-the-dark materials do not glow by phosphorescence. For example, glow sticks glow due to a chemiluminescent process which is commonly mistaken for phosphorescence. In chemiluminescence, an excited state is created via a chemical reaction. The light emission tracks the kinetic progress of the underlying chemical reaction.

  4. List of mineral tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mineral_tests

    Mineral tests are simple physical and chemical methods of testing samples, which can help to identify the mineral type. [1] This approach is used widely in mineralogy , ore geology and general geological mapping.

  5. Triboluminescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence

    A diamond may begin to glow while being rubbed; this occasionally happens to diamonds while a facet is being ground or the diamond is being sawn during the cutting process. Diamonds may fluoresce blue or red. Some other minerals, such as quartz, are triboluminescent, emitting light when rubbed together. [19]

  6. Strontium aluminate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strontium_aluminate

    Phosphorescent materials were discovered in the 1700s, and people have been studying them and making improvements over the centuries.The development of strontium aluminate pigments in 1993 was spurred on by the need to find a substitute for glow-in-the-dark materials with high luminance and long phosphorescence, especially those that used promethium.

  8. Schistostega - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schistostega

    The moss has adapted to grow in low light conditions by utilizing spherical cells in the protonema that act as lenses, collecting and concentrating even the faintest light. The chloroplasts absorb the useful wavelengths of the light and reflect back the remainder towards the light source, giving the moss a greenish-gold glow. [ 4 ]

  9. Scheelite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheelite

    Scheelite fluoresces under shortwave ultraviolet light, the mineral glows a bright sky-blue. The presence of molybdenum trace impurities occasionally results in a green glow. Fluorescence of scheelite, sometimes associated with native gold, is used by geologists in the search for gold deposits.
