After absorbing ultraviolet light a mineral releases visible light rays has the property of what?
The ability of a mineral or substance to glow during and after exposure to ultraviolet light is called fluorescence. If it continues to glow after the ultraviolet light has been turned off the effect is called phosphorescence.
Is flourescence a reliable mineral?
Fluorescence is not a mineral at all.
Which is not a factor that effects the size of mineral crystals formed in magma?
fluoresence is not a factor. I had this same question and i got fluorescence as a correct answer
What mineral property are you testing if a fingernail scratches a mineral?
You are testing the relative hardness of the mineral.
A diamond is the hardest natural substance is this a physical or chemical property?
Diamond is the hardest known mineral, which is a physical property of the mineral.
Is fluorescence a reliable mineral?
Fluorescence is a property not a mineral.

Yes
How do you describe a mineral?
There are actually quite a few properties to classify rocks and minerals. Some of these are chemical composition, radioactivity, phosphorescence, grain size, hardness, color, streak and fluorescence.
What is fluorescence in a mineral?
The fluorescence in a mineral is where it will shine or reflect under a ultraviolet light.
What is a mineral with fluorescence?
Fluorite is a fluorescent mineral.
Is flourescence a reliable mineral?
Fluorescence is not a mineral at all.
How is you know if a mineral passes the fluorescence test?
The fluorescence is experimentally identified.You need an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the mineral sample.
When is a mineral is discribed as fluorescent?
A mineral is described as a fluorescent when light from ultraviolet lamps reacts with the chemicals of a mineral and causes the mineral to glow; this is called fluorescence.
The ability of a mineral to continue to glow for a period of time once an ultraviolet light source is removed is known as?
phosphorescence
