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

No data

Activator(s) and spectrum:

Activator(s): Mn²⁺ , Cr³⁺,

No spectrum yet

Comments on spectrum and activators:

In green hiddenite crystals Cr3+ emission is dominant at room temperature where the R-lines are superimposed on a broad-band emission. (Source: Luminescence spectroscopy of Cr3+ and Mn2+ in spodumene (LiAlSi2O6), WALKER G. see below).

Best localities for fluorescence (*):

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

A request providing no result means only that no such reference exists in the database, but it does not mean that what you are looking for does not exist, just not to our knowledge.
