A sphere of our very gemmy sodalite hackmanite material. This gem sodalite is blindingly bright under all wavelengths - midwave, shortwave and longwave with incredible tenebrescence. You won’t find many Greenland sodalite spheres on the market.
The sodalite on this piece changes color when exposed to UV (shortwave), darkening to a grape purple (almost black) as shown in the GIF below - a unique hue compared to other Greenland sodalites. Under longwave, the bright orange fluorescence is unmistakable.
Under midwave, there are some dim spots of violet which could possibly be leucophanite.
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.
