Ulexite Mineral

Ulexite Mineral

This unique mineral is often called TV Stone or TV Rock because of its fiber optic properties.  Place a sample of ulexite on a picture or text and watch the image transmit from beneath the mineral to the top! 

Ulexite is typically colorless to white or gray in color with a hardness of 2 to 2.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale.  With a white streak and silky luster this ulexite mineral is a must for any collection!

In this photo you can see a piece of ulexite over the image on the top left of the identification card.  The ulexite mineral transmits the image from the card to the top of the mineral, which is why you can see it in the photo.  Get your own sample of ulexite today.
