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

No data

Comments:

Associated with dull red fluorescing tilasite in Langban.

Activator(s) and spectrum:

Activator(s): Mn²⁺ , Nd³⁺,

Peaks in the spectrum (nm):

Mn²⁺ repl. Ca²⁺ : band peaking at 585 - 612nm

Nd³⁺ : 874nm (exc. 780nm)

No spectrum yet

Comments on spectrum and activators:

Svabite was studied by steady-state luminescence spectroscopy and luminescence of Mn²⁺ was found (Gorobets and Rogojine 2001).

Excitation by CW laser with 532 and 780 nm revealed band of Mn²⁺ and narrow luminescence lines of evidently Nd³⁺

Best localities for fluorescence (*):

Langban, Filipstad, Varmland Province, Sweden ;
Ultevis, Lappland, Sweden ;
Franklin, New Jersey, USA ;
A skarn at Solongo, Buriat Republic, Russia ;
Jakobsberg Mine, Jakobsberg ore field, Nordmark district, Filipstad, Värmland, Sweden (Svabite pseudomorphose after Tilasite);

(*)The data are not exhaustive and are limited to a few remarkable localities for fluorescence
