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.
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.
