MSG1099: Fantasy Rock

Over 10 LBS - Major Combination Piece - 6 Color

MSG1099animThe Taseq Slope yields fantastic combination specimens which quickly earned the nickname “Fantasy Rock”. This piece consists of bright red FL tugtupite “eyes” encircling white FL chkalovite, blue/wht analcime, orange sodalite, green natrolite, lime green from an unknown mineral and many hues in between.

The sodalite (and tugtupite) is nicely tenebrescent. Under LW the two minerals (sodalite and tugtupite) are difficult to differentiate - the tugtupite almost glows the same color as the sodalite, but the patterns are distinct.

More information about our Fantasy Rocks can be found in our Mineral Data section.

Greenland       
Greenland is home to over 250 varieties of minerals. Many of them are fluorescent and new ones are being discovered each year. Tugtupite is perhaps the most famous mineral from Greenland - famous for its deep saturated red glow. Sodalite (var hackmanite) has become famous in the past few years as one of the deepest “color-change” varieties found and is always in great demand. Other rarities include chkalovite, ussingite, sorensenite, polylithionite, analcime, and more.  Many of these are tenebrescent, phosphorescent, and have varied responses under multiple wavelengths. All are excessively rare.

 The MinerShop web site offers an in depth review of all the fluorescent minerals found in Greenlnad.
