Fluorescence Minerals
Fluorescence is a special optical property in our world. This phenomenon is rarely observed in some species of animals and plants in nature. In simple terms, fluorescence occurs when ultraviolet (UV) light shines on a material, causing electronic transitions between energy levels, which then results in the emission of a visible colored light with high brightness. To observe fluorescence, two conditions are essential: the presence of ultraviolet light and darkness.
Rocks
In this gallery, igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks are presented in a diverse collection and scientifically categorized.
Ore
On the museum visit path, the ore deposits collections display various ores in the form of twenty five showcases,
Meteorite
A meteorite is a rocky or metallic body that enters the Earth's atmosphere from space. Its high-speed movement through the atmosphere generates frictional heat, causing the object to glow and produce the luminous trail known as a "meteor" or "shooting star." A large portion of the meteorite may burn up in the atmosphere, but fragments that reach the Earth's surface are called meteorites (United States Geological Survey, USGS).
