Worlds Largest Faceted Daylight Fluorescent Hyalite Opal

[Deathspi]

Saw this yesterday and thought it looked super cool. Not only does it glow under UV light, but it has a slight fluorescence in daylight too! Watch the first video to see it being faceted, it’s really interesting!

I believe that Green Zircon also has these properties. While I DO have extra digits, that wasn't the reason..

oooooh this glowy! reminds me a little bit of a neon glow stick!

I was reading the description and when i saw that it was cut by a S. Moriarty then I read the part about being radioactive....It immediately took me to Sherlock Holmes and this being one of Moriarty's plots to take over the world...one gem at a time ...

When I bought my first stone from him, I left a review and couldn’t help but make a Sherlock Holmes reference. It had to be done!

I have an dream.

1) Pull out all my stones that lack saturation
2) Put them in a ziplock bag
3) Buy a Chernobyl tour (they organize trips for the interested tourists, yes! Very educative)
4) Secretly bury the bag somewhere close to the reactor
5) Return back in five years and unearth the bag
6) See and photograph the result
7) Post on PS
