Gemmy fluorescent sodalite pieces from Greenland. The lower two pieces seem to have minor tugtupite as you can see under shortwave UV light. The blue is likely analcime.
The (B) sodalite on this piece changes color when exposed to shortwave (254nm) UV, darkening to a purple as shown in the GIF below - a unique hue compared to other Greenland sodalites. Under longwave (365nm) the bright orange fluorescence is unmistakable.
Known in the fluorescent mineral hobby as the brightest sodalite in the world, Greenland Sodalite has become the benchmark in the UV mineral world, setting a world-class standard to which all other sodalites are compared..
Fluorescent sodalite, or hackmanite from Greenland is a rare find for collectors. You won’t find much of this material on the market. Each piece is uniquely amazing.
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.
