Phosphorescence (in the common sense of the term) observable with the naked eye:

No data

Comments:

Chemically identical to Coronene (Hexabenzobenzene), a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronene )

The name replaces pendletonite (CNMMN, 1971), karpatite and coronene.

Beware when manipulating, coronene is toxic and carcinogen:

toxic, Carc. cat. 2
Principal way of exposition to coronene : skin
Inhalation: toxic: possibility irreversible effects if inhaled.
Ingestion: Toxic: danger of very serious irreversible effects if swallowed.
Skin Contact : Harmful: danger of serious damage to health by prolonged skin contact.
Eyes Contact : Risk of serious eyes damages
