  2. Luminous gemstones - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminous_gemstones

    Legends about snakes that carry a marvelous jewel either in their forehead or in their mouth are found almost worldwide. Scholars have suggested that the myth may have originated with snake worship, or light reflected by a serpent's eye, or the flame color of certain snakes' lips. In only a relative few of these legends is the stone luminous ...

  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. Belomorite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belomorite

    The mineral consists of the thinnest (parallel) plates, almost invisible to the naked eye. Light, reflected from the internal cleavage planes, is refracted many times, which leads to spectacular color interference of light on spinodal decomposition structures commensurate with its wavelength. These properties of belomorite are by no means ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opal

    Precious opal displays play-of-color (iridescence); common opal does not. [6] Play-of-color is defined as "a pseudo chromatic optical effect resulting in flashes of colored light from certain minerals, as they are turned in white light." [7] The internal structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, resulting in play-of-color ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adularescence

    The effect of adularescence, also commonly referred to as schiller or shiller, is best described as a milky, bluish luster or glow originating from below the surface of the gemstone. The schiller, appearing to move as the stone is turned (or as the light source is moved), gives the impression of lunar light floating on water (accounting for ...

  7. 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 ]
