What is Hotaruishi (Firefly Stone)?
Hotaruishi absorbs light from sunlight and fluorescent lamp ultraviolet rays!
It releases the absorbed light in the dark!
Let's make Hotaruishi glow!
Place it as close as possible to a fluorescent lamp or desk lamp for about 10 minutes.
Turn off the lights and make the room completely dark, or take it into a completely dark room.
The Hotaruishi will glow beautifully.
Where Hotaruishi is often used:
Surprise additions to cakes at birthday parties, Christmas, Valentine's Day, White Day, anniversaries, and parties.
How to create a surprise:
Pour juice into a glass previously exposed to ultraviolet light and bring it next to the cake, then turn off the lights to complete the surprise.
The Hotaruishi-filled glass will be a talking point and enhance the party atmosphere.
To ensure a successful surprise:
Experiment at the same time of day as the party!
The darker the surroundings, the more beautifully it will glow.
Q&A:
