A unique piece of bright red/pink fluorescing tugtupite with a beautiful deep green fluorescent chkalovite. Some of the green fluorescence may be natrolite as well. The pink tugtupite and dull white/magenta chkalovite "eyes" are typical Taseq Slope material. We blasted a big cliff of this material while up on the mountains in between our Greenland Geotours.
This specimen is only lacking sodalite to be a true "Fantasy Rock".
