RARE Fluorescent HACKMANITE and Richterite.*Tenebrescent* Rough unique crystal specimen, natural neon under UV longwave and shortwave light.
This rare fluorescent crystal specimen contains hackmanite, and richterite. This specimen fluoresces bright orange and blue under longwave (LW) UV light, and pink/purple/pale peach under shortwave (SW) UV light. This piece has a decent amount of tenebrescence.
Approximate Dimensions: 1.75" x 1.25" x 0.75"
Weight: 1.218 oz (34.51 g)
The first picture and video were taken under LW UV light, the second was taken with a SW UV light, and the third was taken under normal daylight. The video shows the glow with longwave light and also the tenebrescence.
This specimen is from Sar-e Sang, Koksha Valley , Badakhshan, Afghanistan.
One of the reasons why hackmanite is so unique and rare is because it is "tenebrescent." This means that under daylight, hackmanite appears to be a light pink/purple color, but when submitting it to a UV light (and taking it away), then the hackmanite shows a deep/dark purple color under daylight. This effect only lasts for a few minutes/hours and the effect can be repeated over and over again. Hackmanite is one of the only crystals with this characteristic in the world! And the extremely bright fluorescence also makes this crystal very desirable.
