Crowley's Ridge
DMC FIELD TRIP - SEPT. 8-9, 2000

Collecting selenite crystals.

The selenite crystals occurred in a definite zone
on the hill side.

Close-up view of digging.

Notice how hill has been dug out!

Selenite specimens from the "Ridge"

Selenite from Crowley's ridge fluoresces a lime green 
under long wave UV light.  Specimens also have a phosphorescence  persistence of close to two 
seconds after the UV light is turned off!
(pink and blue colors above more visable to digital camera than to the human eye!)
