[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 370828, member: 6309"] My set-up consists of several 'Black-lights'.... I want to eventually get a SW and LW combined light... These are quite expensive... Not sure where in OZ you can get one, I haven't bothered to look yet.. 8) As for the Purchase of Minerals, I have bought several 2lb packs of Ebay... From a USA supplier... Not too bad for about $60 landed here... Australia hasn't got that many Fluorescent Minerals. Broken Hill have a few and 'Some' aussie Opal.. Most come from the USA Mines... And Most have a glow under my Black-lights.... Better under UV of course... Most US sellers are pretty good... Postage is the Killer tho... :mad: Watch out for Crap that they say 'Glows', there are some shockers that's for sure.... Take your torch with you to Gem shows and you will be surprised at what you find... Watch out for size of your Specimen... Thumbnail size fits a 1"x1"x1" cube display box... very small Miniature size fits a 1 1/2" Cube display box.. Small Cabinet fits a 2"X2"X2" Cube display box.... Good size, I get these and larger.. :Y: Cabinet size fits a 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 Cube display... Large Cabinet is around 4" cube And so on... or something like that anyhow :rolleyes: here is a link that has some info for you...
