A smaller piece of our larger Kangerlussaq tugtupite specimens containing small tugtupite crystals dispersed throughout the matrix. Nicely tenebrescent. There is some green chkalovite mixed in with the tugtupite creating a beautiful yellow color. Not many pieces like these will ever hit the market.

Under midwave this piece glows all sorts purple-lilac, magenta, red colors. It also displays an incredible phosphorescence.

The brownish areas are still considered tugtupite.

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.
