A unique piece of bright red/pink fluorescing tugtupite with a beautiful deep green fluorescent chkalovite. Some of the green fluorescence may be natrolite as well. The pink tugtupite and dull white/magenta chkalovite "eyes" are typical Taseq Slope material. We blasted a big cliff of this material while up on the mountains in between our Greenland Geotours.
This specimen is only lacking sodalite to be a true "Fantasy Rock".

Greenland Sodalite Hackmanite - Quick Change Artist, Tenebrescent Champion

Tenebrescence of Greenland fluorescent sodalite is amazing. This is a piece of a deeply tenebrescent sodalite. Note how when the shortwave light is first turned on, the sodalite fluoresces a bright orange but almost immediately shifts to a burnt orange as the tenebrescence sets in.

blue fluorite, green willemite, red calcite under uv light

Willemite, Calcite, Fluorite from the Garpenberg Mine in Sweden

The Garpenberg mine is located in Bergslagen, a very old mining area in the southern part of Sweden.

The mine is very active today and is one of Europe's most progressive underground mining operations. Collecting is not possible, and the few specimens that reach collector's hands are highly prized. The mineralogy is quite similar to that of Franklin NJ.
