When the St. Louis, Arkansas and Texas line was built from Corsicana to Milepost 35 in 1887, the station, called Mertens for the wife of the engineer on the first train, was built near the Walling place.
Fluorescence is the emission of light or photon, similar to bioluminescence and phosphorescence. However, each of them differs beyond the atomic level. Bioluminescence is when an organism emits light through biochemical means. Bioluminescence is the outcome of the oxidation of luciferin and the enzyme luciferase.
What is diamond fluorescence? Diamond fluorescence, in its most simple form, is the effect that ultraviolet (UV) light has on a diamond. When you stand under a blue light or ultraviolet light, sometimes you can see your whites get brighter or your teeth appear to glow. This is the same effect the diamond has under the UV rays. Fluorescence is the visible light that a diamond emits when it is exposed to the UV rays. On a GIA Diamond Grading Report, fluorescence refers to the strength, or intensity, of the diamondâs reaction to long-wave UV, which is an essential component of daylight.
