Fluorescence of TugtupiteHide

In UV light:

Bright magenta-red to pink (SW UV). A stone was initially pink, and turned red immediately upon exposure to long-wave UV radiation. After the UV lamp was turned off, the stone returned to pink after several minutes. This chromatic change was repeatable.
Specifically, it becomes dark red when exposed to UV radiation (or is irradiated by X-rays), and the colour fades to a paler red, pink or white when kept in the dark or exposed to bright light for a few minutes. This colour behaviour is probably due to an electron trapped in a Cl vacancy and associated sulphur polyanions.
