A 1 ¼” diameter tugtupite sphere with minor polylithionite and intermixed arfvedsonite. Under shortwave UV light, the tugtupite fluoresces its famed bright red color. Under longwave, you’ll see a bright orange fluorescence. Not many tugtupite spheres on the market today.
First, an animation showing the difference between the UV flashlight we recommend (365nm filtered UV flashlight) versus unfiltered 395nm UV flashlights we see many folks carrying around at shows. So. much. visible purple light. We selected a bunch of rocks as a demonstration. Took pictures of them under his flashlight without the filter and then with the filter.
A major component of rock collecting (for us) is simply getting out in nature. A buddy dragged us out to a very remote area here in middle Tennessee to hunt for fluorescent green agate. Since we consider ourselves pure "Glow Hounds" we weren't anticipating any glow rocks, just the beauty of the area, but we brought our UV lights anyway.
