I was playing around with 5mW 650nm laser pointer and got this nice pic!:D It looks like a glow in the dark ruby!

Gentlemen, emphasis on the phrase "looks like a."

Regular quartz is my guess.

Probably right, just some regular run of the mill quartz , would be a pretty big ruby... wrong crystal structure and cleavage anyways, should of looked twice haha

the guy is from south Africa, i've seen some pretty exotic minerals come from that part of the world..

Just let me know if anyone wants a similar crystal... I got a bunch and the importer, a pal, is getting more at good deals all along. (these are about $5 per inch of length, and I chose w/ a green laser so, I see which light up nice.) ;) -Glenn

Hi, thanks for all the replies! Now that you know it's not a real ruby, would you still like to see in a bright white light? If you want to I can do it this afternoon...
