<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 345480, member: 29"]Amber will only show the blue veil under UV. it's the effect of internal refraction by the amber changing the wavelength of the light and diffusing it, not fluorescence. You aren't seeing the amber glow, but rather the refracted light. A fluorescent light has the wrong wavelength so won't work.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
