A sphere of our very gemmy green sodalite (hackmanite) material. This gem sodalite is bright under all wavelengths, midwave, shortwave and longwave with incredible tenebrescence under both shortwave and longwave. The tenebrescence covers nearly 90% of the sphere. You won’t find many Greenland sodalite spheres such as this one on the market.
What is tenebrescence? This is the process when the sodalite on this piece changes color after exposure to UV (shortwave or longwave), 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.
