JSG. Has sale of Jewelry Cabochone and Gemstones Mineraler and Gem stones of Tugtupite and Greenlandit Nuumite sodalit Kakortokit (Milaktit) The mineral Tugtupit was unknown until 1957, then it was discovered in large quantities on the Narsaq peninsula (the Ilimmaasaq Intruision) and in more modest amounts on the kola peninsula in Russia. Pron are more white. The name relates to a legend concerning a girl, named Tugtu, which means reindeer. In order to give birth in solitude, she went into the mountains. On the spot where the blood and placenta fell to the ground, there appeared the Tugtupit stone. The age of this legend, cannot be determined. The richtest veins are found in the Kvanefjeld area, where the Tugtupit has a deep red colour. It occurs white minerals such as Albitr and Analcime, yellow onse such as pyrochlore and Zincblende, and black-greenish ones such as Aegirine. Individually hewn-out Tugtupit are therefore often multicoloured and veinred, which gives the stone its characteristic apperance, In other places in the area, Tugtupit are found which are light-red, white and even blue-green. The stone colour can be altered - for instance, a strongly coloured Tugtupit can become faded when stored in the dark. However, it regains the colour when it is exposed to sunlight. Other varieties fade in sunlight but get their colour back these colour changes are due to microscopic impurities in the mineral crystal structure. The Tugtupit was first introduced as a precious stone by the royal court jeweller, Ove Dragsted. Today it is widely used in the local production of jewellery in the Narsaq area, where its strong and varied colours are utilized. The minerals hardness is about 6 mos, that is less than that of ordinary beach sand, whose grains have a hardness of 7 mos. Therefore, Tugtupit is easily scratched. Furthermore, Tugtupit often split in a regular manner, and can be full of particles and veins of other minerals.
