Database of luminescent Minerals
GASPEITE
NOT FLUORESCENT but cited by some authors
Chemical Formula: (Ni,Mg,Fe+2) CO3
Familly: Carbonates
Status: IMA-A
Crystal System: Hexagonal
Mineral for Display: No
Luminescence:
| UV Type | Main color | Intensity | Observation Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Waves (365nm): | Bluish White | Mid waves (320 nm): | Bluish White | Short Waves (254 nm): | Bluish White |
Phosphorescence (in the common meaning of the term) seen by naked eye:
No phosphorescence seen by naked eye whatever the type of UV
Comments:
Resin-stabilized gaspeite often have a blue fluorescence due to the fluorescence of the stabilizing agent to make the material harder and usable in jewellery. Untreated gaspeite is non fluorescent.
Main Activator(s) and spectrum:
No data
Best Locality for luminescence(*):
(*)Data are not exhaustive and are limited to the most important localities for fluorescence
