This piece is similar to the Kangerella pieces we occasionally find. Red tugtupite, minor silver polylithionite, and blue/green chkalovite.

These pieces are probably our favorite find from the Ilimaussaq Complex. The tugtupite occurs as veins in a
green chkalovite matrix.. The minor polylithionite consists of fine crystal of yellow fluorescence. The tugtupite is very phosphorescent and beautifully tenebrescent. The tugtupite also fluoresces differently under each of the main wavelengths (like terlingua calcite).

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.
