Carpathite

Nov 20, 2024 | Fluorescent Minerals by Species

Carpathite, also known as Karpatite, is one of the few organic minerals. It is chemically identical to coronene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon.

Carpathite is typically fluorescent bright blue under any UV light, best under longwave UV.
