Up for sale is a beautiful large hyalite opal from San Luis Potosi, Mexico! It is in good shape and fluoresces green in shortwave UV light. It weighs 1 pounds 10 ounces and measures approximately 6 1/2" x 4 3/4" x 1 3/4". Pictures were taken dry indoors (UV picture was taken with an 11 watt shortwave UV lamp). Please note that you will need a shortwave UV black light to see the fluorescence! Regular black lights and longwave lamps will cause little to no response. Around 90% of all minerals fluoresce in shortwave UV, while the others are longwave UV fluorescent. Here is a short video on hyalite opals if you'd like to learn more about them!
