Natural Wonder

‘In luminescence, some energy source kicks an electron of an atom out of its lowest energy “ground” state into a higher energy “excited” state; then the electron returns the energy in the form of light so it can fall back to its “ground” state.’ - Fluorescent Mineral Society.

Natural Wonder is  a personal response to the feeling of wonder experienced whilst observing the phenomenon of natural fluorescence in minerals.
