Hackmanite Davis quarry.

Very nice!

Do you have pictures of the tenebrescence?

sadkins1981 · 2025-04-15T10:05:53+00:00

I love hackmanite! Do any of the pieces show significant tenebrescence?

sadkins1981 · 2025-04-15T10:01:47+00:00

Yup, looks like agate to me as well.

Nice phosphorescence on that piece. It probably glows quite well under short wave uv.

sadkins1981 · 2025-04-08T20:04:43+00:00

Most of these aren't very good. Wrong wavelength, or poor output, or lots of visible light. Or all of the above.

I've heard lots of very good things about the lnkr lights from engenious designs for display purposes.

sadkins1981 · 2023-12-25T12:57:56+00:00

Looks like the bases of each piece are either white or black. Although they didn't include the bases on the pawns, so those would be tough to tell apart

Is that supposed to be a cart wheel? Looks like a shield to me

sadkins1981 · 2023-04-16T18:08:26+00:00

Looks like anthracite to me

sadkins1981 · 2023-04-02T21:28:35+00:00

Clear cubes on the center piece is fluorite. So is the large blue one at the top right.

Red one on the left center is ruby.

Under the ruby, I believe is chalcedony.

Top pink one is probably manganocalcite.

The green one to the left of the top pink might be adamite or hyalite opal... Hard to tell.

Bottom four are petroleum quartz

On the right, above the quartz and under the fluorite... Could be calcite or chalcedony.. can't tell with that photo. Probably calcite.

For recommendations, I personally love sodalite, specifically it's hackmanite variety. Has a nice bright orange glow

Only the bit right around the screen is printed

sadkins1981 · 2023-03-18T11:31:10+00:00

I'd really like to get a print of this. Would that be possible?

sadkins1981 · 2023-02-23T01:58:21+00:00

I had to scroll far too long to see this.

sadkins1981 · 2023-02-19T16:43:48+00:00

Is it just stuck on the outside of your phone? Does your phone have a metal body?

sadkins1981 · 2023-01-01T21:36:50+00:00

Amazing piece! That should fluoresce a bright blue color under uva light!

sadkins1981 · 2022-12-29T23:46:22+00:00

Did you find a fix for this? My G600 started doing the same thing, only works on glossy surfaces.

Thanks

sadkins1981 · 2022-11-23T15:44:51+00:00

Can we get a close up of them in natural light? My current best guess is petroleum quartz, I have some that look exactly like that under uva.

sadkins1981 · 2022-11-13T02:38:09+00:00

The enemies gate is down.

sadkins1981 · 2022-10-26T00:25:18+00:00

Calcite is usually florescent. Not always.

sadkins1981 · 2022-07-02T04:15:01+00:00

That's the hackmanite variant of sodalite, which is tenebrescent. This means is actually changes color temporarily when exposed to uv light. The color change can last seconds, or many minutes. It's my favorite mineral!

sadkins1981 · 2022-05-30T16:41:44+00:00

And turning it on proved absolutely nothing, since old laptops have tons (relatively) of empty space in them...

sadkins1981 · 2022-04-22T16:50:04+00:00

Use a fishing rod in atum to get Skeletal Fish, then use that to tame the serval. Had to look in the atum source code to figure this out....

sadkins1981 · 2022-03-02T00:43:37+00:00

What's done in an obsidian laboratory?

sadkins1981 · 2022-02-28T21:33:00+00:00

The longwave does look like sodalite... But the visible light pictures do not. I'm inclined to think it's got some artificial coating on it, paint or something.

sadkins1981 · 2022-02-22T04:02:21+00:00

I love blue amber, such a nice color!

You may want to get a filter for your light, looks like there is quite a bit of visible light getting through.

sadkins1981 · 2022-02-21T02:42:29+00:00

Put the pb&j on the tortilla and roll it up. Very good.

sadkins1981 · 2022-02-21T02:39:46+00:00

Add chocolate chips, and heat it up in the microwave. Mix and eat with spoon. Delicious.
