Sørensenite, Tugtupite. Kvanefjeld, Ilímaussaq complex, Kujalleq, Greenland

Daniel C Montero

This is a very unusual combo with the rare Sørensenite associated with Tugtupite.

Its best response is under short-wave UV light, Sørensenite fluoresces bluish, while Tugtupite is bright red, pink/orange under medium-wave UV light and orange under long-wave UV light.

The Tugtupita is also Tenebrescent.
