This site has photographs and information about the Purple Passion mine, the Diamond Joe mine, and the related Hogan Claim. It has photos of specimens from each of the mines, information about the powerful ultraviolet display lamps that we custom manufacture, and links to some other fluorescent sites. Dealer inquires for both the lamps and specimens are welcome. Order lamps and specimens via e-mail at wggardner@aol.com. Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy this website. Please come back soon because I change it every few weeks when I have new specimens ready to post.
