Rare Fluorescent Minerals

Fluorescent minerals for sale from Greenland, Australia and around the world

Ililmaussaq Complex, South Greenland

Gem Quality Tugtupite, Kvanefjeld, GreenlandThe mineralogy of the Ilimaussaq Complex, South Greenland has been studied for two centuries. Over 200 minerals have been identified from this unique complex, the most famous is tugtupite - over 15 are only found here. Ilimaussaq is the type locality for dozens of alkaline minerals including tugtupite, ussingite, polylithionite, chkalovite, and more! In the past several years this area has become a world-class locale for fluorescent minerals and super tenebrescent hackmanite. We specialize in fluorescent minerals from this remote locale.

Puttapa Zinc Mine - Australia

Willemite - Puttapa Zinc mineA major new addition to our sales inventory are the wild fluorescent rocks from the Puttapa Zinc Mine in Australia. These pieces are vividly fluorescent, very phosphorescent and have wild patterns.

Minerals include willemite, aragonite, calcite, hedyphane, and probably many more. This little known site is located in the remote Australian outback and has only occasionally produced collector specimens. We are just starting to identify the many colors and combinations.

Some are listed on Ebay in our weekly auctions, and a couple more are listed here for private viewing. Send an email if interested in any of these pieces....

 

Puttapa-Sandwitch-RockDon’t miss our trip report section. We explore and collect fluorescent minerals from many remote localities. Use these field reports to help plan your own fluorescent mineral collecting expedition.  While you’re at it check out the technical section. It contains comparisons of portable UV lights, discusses battery pack construction to power your field lamp, and offers general tips for the fluorescent mineral hobbyist.
