Commentaar:
Luminescence of pectolite was noted in 1903 by Kunz and Baskerville.
In Mt-St-Hilaire, Pectolite could be confused with Makatite. The major distinguishing feature is the fluorescence. While not all makatite fluoresces, when it does it is moderate to strong blueish white or very pale greenish SW (and sometimes LW as well) and pectolite is fluorescing in pink or orange.
Activator en spectrum:
Voornaamste Activator: Mn2+
Andere activatoren: Cr3+ , Fe3+ , Nd3+ ,
Pieks in het spectrum (nm):
Mn2+ replacing Ca2+ : 580 - 590 - 610nm ( Paterson NJ, USA sample, exc. 532nm)
Fe3+ : 722nm (Asbestos Canada sample, exc. 532nm)
Nd3+ : 867, 877, 881, 890, 918nm (Mt St Hilaire Canada sample, exc. 780nm)
OH : 652nm (Diako, Sandare District, Mali sample, very sharp peak, exc. 532nm) (Gaft)

Commentaar over activators en spectra:
Activator: probably Mn2+ substituting to Ca2+ (see Gorobets)
