Amethyst geode in Daylight flash and UV lighting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have started to try out Ultra Violet fluorescence on a number of rocks and stones that I have. Most don’t fluoresce but a few do including an Amethyst geode that I bought earlier this year. Here are some initial photos I have taken. They are not perfect – I am still learning how best to do this. I am using a comparison slider to show different images side-by-side:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blending the 2 images together gives a slightly different look:<\/p>\n\n\n

But the exterior of the geode was also interesting:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
