Polylithionite w/ minor tugtupite and analcime - Greenland, SWUV
Sodalite and Natrolite - Greenland, SWUV
Blue Apatite from Madagascar - shown under shortwave UV
Quartz nodule from La Sassa, Italy. Fluoresces a bright yellow under all wavelengths of UV (shortwave, midwave, longwave)
“Fantasy Rock” - Tugtupite, Sodalite, Analcime, Chkalovite, Ilimaussaq Complex, Greenland.
Amazing mix of brightly fluorescent, rare minerals from Greenland. The sodalite on this piece is very tenebrescent and causes the purple dots seen on the white light photo. They fade upon exposure to bright white light.
Tugtupite on Analcime - Ilimaussaq Complex, Greenland.
Fluorescent under shortwave UV, bright cherry red. Yellow crystals of sphalerite (non-fluorescent)
Willemite and Calcite - Puttapa Zinc Mine, Australia
Shown under shortwave UV, phosphorescence, and natural
Deeply tenebrescent sodalite (hackmanite) - Ilimaussaq Complex, Greenland
The sodalite fluoresces a rusty orange under SW and a bright yel/org under LW UV. After exposure to SW UV (shortwave) the natural color deepens to a grape purple. Exposure to bright light will fade it back in seconds. This can be repeated indefinitely.
Calcite on Fluorite, China - under shortwave UV
Tugtupite and Polylithionite - Ilimaussaq Complex, Greenland
Aragonite from Sicily, Italy - Shortwave UV, Midwave UV, Longwave UV, Phosphorescent and natural.
