One of our largest sodalite (hackmanite) spheres. Deeply tenebrescent and phosphorescent. Phosphorescent sodalite from Greenland is unusual and is very unique material.

Bright under all wavelengths. Blue can likely be analcime. Black arfvedsonite crystals with a fluorescent uranyl green coating makes for a nice contrast.

Under midwave, you can see bright pinkish-violet leucophanite. Leucophanite is only found in a few places around the world - most notably Norway, Canada (MSH), and Greenland. It is very rare. Responds best to midwave UV.

Fluorescent Green Agate from Scott's Gulf, Smryna, Tennessee

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.

Red sodalite is named for the color it takes on when exposed to sunlight; it is nicely tenebrescent under longwave UV. Under shortwave UV the color deepens, in seconds, to almost black in some areas.
