Fluorescent mineral viewing box

View fluorescent minerals in daylight

A dark box with a binocular slit at the front and a 22 mm port on the side for a UV torch: lay a specimen inside, close the lid and see its fluorescence glow in daylight, without blacking out the room. Safer too, as the UV stays inside the box.
