Tugtupite

Ilimaussaq complex, Narsaq, Kitaa Province, Greenland

3.3cm x 2.7cm x 1.1cm


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific example of tugtupite from Greenland!!! This specimen hosts a rich showing of red tugtupite in association with black crystals of aegirine and other unidentified species!!! The tugtupite has fantastic color and areas of marked translucence!!! Upon close inspection with a loupe or scope one can even see some minute crystalline features in areas!!! The tugtupite fluoresces a bright red orange under SW UV and there are areas of green fluorescence as well (an unidentified species)!!! In addition to the fluorescence, the tugtupite exhibits pronounced tenebrescence (pink-magenta to deep cherry red) as well - meaning that the tugtupite shows a significant darkening of color after exposure to UV that gradually reverts back to the original color over a period of time!!! Rare material!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
