LAZURITE

Scheikundige formule: Na₆Ca₂Al₆Si₆O₂₄[(SO₄),S,Cl,(OH)]₂

Familie: Silicaten

Status: IMA-GP

Kristal Systeem: Cubisch

Mineraal om tentoon te stellen: Nee

Fluorescentie:

Fosforescentie (in de algemene betekenis) zien met het blote oog:

Thermoluminescencie: Ja

Commentaar:

This is a mineral of the sodalite family, more precisely a sulfide rich variety of Hauyne.

Lazurite is the blue component of the Lapis Lazuli, which is a Lazurite-Calcite-Pyrite rock.

From Lyadjvar, Pamir mountains, Tadjikistan. Fluoresces bluish under LW.

Lazurite of Ovalle Chile said to be thermoluminescente and phosphorescente by De Ment (associated calcite?) (see bibliography)

Activator en spectrum:

Voornaamste Activator: S₂^-

Andere activatoren: Fe³⁺ , Mn²⁺ , Nd³⁺ ,

Commentaar over activators en spectra:

Emission of S₂^- centers with vibrational structure even at room temperature was identified by Tarashchan (1978).

In his study of S₂^- Gaft revealed that this center has very fast decay of approximately 200–500 ns enabling to quench it by relatively small delay time and to detect other previously hidden luminescence centers. This approach revealed, besides S₂^- emission two broad bands not definitely identified yet, but the last one evidently belongs to Mn²⁺ based on its spectral position and form and long decay time. Excitation by CW laser at 532 and 780 nm revealed evidently luminescence of Nd³⁺, Fe³⁺, Mn²⁺ (broad band at 575nm) and S₂^- (broad band  at 620nm with weak vibrational structure) centers.
