Faceted hackmanite, a rare and captivating gemstone, is renowned for its unique ability to change color under different lighting conditions—a phenomenon known as tenebrescence. This fascinating characteristic, along with its striking appearance and metaphysical properties, makes hackmanite a prized addition to any gemstone collection. In this article, we delve into the origins, properties, and benefits of faceted hackmanite and explain why Glitter Gemstones is your premier source for acquiring this extraordinary gem.
Hackmanite is a variety of sodalite that exhibits tenebrescence. When exposed to sunlight or UV light, hackmanite changes color, often transforming from a soft violet or pink to a deeper purple or even a pale white or grey. This reversible change is what sets hackmanite apart from other gemstones. Additionally, hackmanite fluoresces under UV light, adding another layer of intrigue to its visual appeal.
Hackmanite was first discovered in Greenland in the late 19th century and named after Finnish geologist Victor Axel Hackman. Today, significant deposits of hackmanite are found in various parts of the world, including Afghanistan, Myanmar, and Canada. Each location imparts unique qualities to the hackmanite it produces, contributing to the gemstone's diversity.
