Pieces C, E, and H likely show small areas of rare tugtupite crystals. Pieces in box A, C, E, H, I are from the Taseq area, consistent with Taseq tugtupite. The remainder pieces are all Kvanefjeld tugtupite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTugtupite is a rare fluorescent mineral found in only a handful of locations worldwide, with Greenland producing its prized gem-quality material. Celebrated for its brilliant red fluorescence under shortwave UV, it can also deepen from pale pink to rich red in sunlight, a natural color-changing property called tenebrescence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Greenlandic folklore, Tutu, the “reindeer girl,” went into the mountains to give birth. Her life-giving blood seeped into the rocks, creating tugtupite and linking the stone with life and fertility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMinerShop added its own romantic chapter in the early 2000s: lovers could supposedly turn tugtupite fiery red through the heat of their romance, its color revealing the intensity of their love. This playful addition spread widely across metaphysical websites and into print. Although often repeated as ancient lore, the romance story was MinerShop’s modern creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" width=\"486\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 364pt; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e \u003ccol width=\"87\" style=\"width: 65pt;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"107\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3413; width: 80pt;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"205\" style=\"mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6570; width: 154pt;\"\u003e \u003ccol width=\"87\" style=\"width: 65pt;\"\u003e \u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl63\" width=\"87\" style=\"height: 16.0pt; width: 65pt;\"\u003eLETTER\/SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl64\" width=\"107\" style=\"width: 80pt;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl64\" width=\"205\" style=\"width: 154pt;\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl65\" width=\"87\" style=\"width: 65pt;\"\u003ePrice (USD)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eA: MSG1678\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e.45 OZ TOTAL\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1\" PIECES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$500.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eB: MSG1679\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e.4 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1 3\/4\" X 7\/8\" X 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$320.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eC: MSG1680\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e0.7 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e2 1\/2\" X 1 1\/2\" X 3\/4\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$195.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eD: MSG1681\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e.6 OZ BOTH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1 1\/4\" - 1 1\/2\" PIECES\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$450.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eE: MSG1682\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e.7 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1 1\/2\" X 1 1\/2\" X 5\/8\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$285.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eF: MSG1683\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1.3 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e2 1\/4\" X 1 1\/4\" X 1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$295.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eG: MSG1684\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e3 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e3\" X 1 1\/4\" X 1 1\/2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$295.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"21\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"21\" class=\"xl66\" style=\"height: 16.0pt;\"\u003eH: MSG1685\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e.7 OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl67\"\u003e1.5\" LEFT 2\" RIGHT\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl68\"\u003e$175.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"23\" style=\"height: 17.0pt;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd height=\"23\" class=\"xl69\" style=\"height: 17.0pt;\"\u003eI: MSG1686\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl70\"\u003e1OZ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl70\"\u003e2 1\/4\" X 1 1\/2\" X 1\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd class=\"xl71\"\u003e$780.00\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe photographs show the collection in ordinary light and under shortwave UV, including views of both sides.
