Description
Up for bid is an unusual specimen from Badakhshan Province, Afghanistan. This specimen has Hackmanite that fluoresces Orange under Longwave UV and White under Midwave and Shortwave UV. The Hackmanite is also Phosphorescent and Tenebrescent. Tenebrescence means that the daylight color changes to a darker purple after exposure to short-wave UV. It will change back to its original color after exposure to white light.Some of the Hackmanite fluoresces a pink color under SW and MW UV. Not sure if the pink is from the Hackmanite or a different mineral. There is also an unknown that fluoresces Yellow under SW UV.
