Strong yellow fluorescent crystal on a matrix of what seems to be albite. Crusts and smaller crystal of phlogopite also fluoresce. The yellow fluorescence of phlogopite is not yet explained. The red fluorescence of albite has been attributed with a high degree of probability to trivalent iron. It is not unthinkable that the same activator causes the yellow fluorescence of phlogopite.
