Radiant Rocks: Unveiling the Hidden Glow of Fluorescent Minerals
April 30 to May 18
"Radiant Rocks: Unveiling the Hidden Glow of Fluorescent Minerals" is making its debut at the Heritage Museum. Local rock hound and Clackamas Mineral and Gem club member, Bob Oblack, worked with local carpenter and contractor, Ken Fetters, to bring this exhibit to Independence.
Fluorescent minerals are captivating. Unlike common materials that reflect ultraviolet light, these minerals emit light from within themselves. The enchanting hues they radiate are unique to each mineral, tied to its distinct physical and chemical composition.
