I've included a variety of photos of this pendant:

  • Transitioning to a darker and brighter pink when exposed to sunlight

  • Captured indoors under LED lighting

  • Fluorescing under a blacklight UV flashlight


PLEASE NOTE:
The Tugtupite crystal appears lighter in color when stored in a box away from UV light or sunlight. It resembles a raspberry pink sorbet. Once exposed, it darkens and fades slowly.

This rare crystal is an exceptional addition to any jewelry collection and is destined to become a cherished family heirloom due to its uniqueness.

Tugtupite has been worn by Greenlandic Inuits for centuries and is regarded as a mineral aphrodisiac of love. It is extremely difficult to obtain, as the ground in Greenland remains frozen for most of the year. Tugtupite is composed of a rare beryllium aluminum tectosilicate.

Please be cautious of counterfeit Tugtupite that has recently emerged in the market, which is a man-made composite of other materials. Authentic natural Tugtupite does not exhibit bright fluorescent pink hues under standard indoor lighting. Instead, it appears as a lighter bubble gum pink until exposed to UV light. Unlike fake Tugtupite, it will darken when in sunlight. Genuine specimens displaying this magical natural phenomenon are quite rare.
