Tenebrescence

Click this link Page7 Tenebrescence Plugin for a special page for use of the sView plugin in Internet Explorer or very old versions of Firefox ESR

When exposed to ultraviolet light, some minerals change their color as viewed in normal white light.

Two types of sodalite: hackmanite and tugtupite change from white to purple with exposure to shortwave UV, and change back to white with exposure to bright white light.

See Page 42 for more tenebrescent hackmanite.
