This part of the exposure is devoted to the understanding of a mineral property denominated luminescence. This is the room of the fluorescence and the phosphorescence, two optic properties of the minerals that need particular conditions and devices to be identified as for instance a closed, dark space with different lamps to illuminate the minerals: white light lamps or long and short waves ultraviolet lamps.
