The fluorescence is experimentally identified.
You need an ultraviolet lamp to irradiate the mineral sample.

How would you test a mineral to find out what it is?
Begin by taking a look at the mineral's color, Examine the mineral and take note of its surface features,Get out the materials needed for the hardness test (see Things You'll need), The number is the hardness, followed by the characteristics of a mineral of that hardness and an example, Next find out your mineral's luster,Now for the streak test, You can also identify a mineral by the way it breaks. If it breaks along a smooth, flat surface (such as mica), it has cleavage. If your mineral breaks along rough, jagged surfaces, it has fracture. Thats all you need to do.
Compare and contrast the different simple tests for mineral identification?
The difference of the test is that each test a a different porpose.
What is a piece of unglazed porcelain to test a mineral's streak called?
A streak plate
Why can't a streak test be done on a mineral whose hardness is greater than 7?
Because the mineral is harder than the ceramic streak plate.
How do you test luster on minerals?
get a mineral tester and find it cheap. some rip you off
What are ways to test a mineral?
You could test for hardness, streak, cleavage, fluorescence, reaction to acid, radioactivity, flame test, etc.
What is FPA Test?
Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA) is a test approved by the FDA for testing of Brucellosis in cattle, bison and swine.
How is the amount of antimyocardial antibodies measured?
serum is diluted, or titered, and the test is done again. The serum is then further diluted and the test repeated until the serum is so dilute that fluorescence is no longer seen. The last dilution that showed fluorescence is the titer reported.
How do you write an equation for a function?
Y = X2 ===== This is a parabolic function because it passes the vertical line test. ( you should know what that test is )
What is FPA?
Fluorescence Polarization Assay (FPA) is a test approved by the FDA for testing of Brucellosis in cattle, bison and swine.
The acid test is used to test what mineral?
calcite
What is used to test the hardness of a a mineral?
The Moh's scale is used to test the hardness of a mineral. It will be tested by a fingernail scratching it.
True or false the streak test is a test of mineral density?
no
What is the fingernail test?
The fingernail test is for minerals and if a mineral is soft then you stick your fingernail in the mineral and if it is below 10 on the moh's hardness scale then it can put a dent into the mineral hope that helps!!
What is Salkowski's test?
Salkowsk's test is a test for cholesterol;when concentrated sulfuric acid is added to a chloroform solution of cholesterol, the chloroform layer shows a red to blue color and the acid layer shows a green fluorescence.
What mineral test leaves a line of powder on a plate?
It is called the streak test. It can help identify the mineral by the color of the streak that is left.
What test do geologists use to determine the hardness of a mineral?
the streak test
