Went on a night mtn bike ride out in the Mineral Mtn. area SE of Florence Junction. Rode to the old town site of Reymert and head off up cottonwood canyon to the site of the Ajax and Woodpecker mine. The weather right now is perfect for night excursions out on the desert.

In response to Nighthiker's reply: Should have taken a black light there. Those mines are full of fluorescent minerals.. I went that area once at night and saw all kinds of colors of minerals. The only ones that I can think of right now is calcite and fluorite...

I have one and in the past used them on the mine tailings. When in jr and high school used to obtain samples and sold thm in the rock shops in the east valley.
