| Luminescent properties: | Taaffeites have specific characteristic fluorescence. The fluorescence colors under LWUV can be divided into four categories: orange‐red, pink, green, and blue‐white. Using two‐dimensional fluorescence spectra, it was found that the samples with orange‐red and pink fluorescence had two very strong peaks at 686 nm and 690 nm in the red region. Samples showing green and blue‐white fluorescence had strong peaks at 439 nm and 464 nm in the blue region, a relatively weak peak in the green region, and two very weak peaks at 686 nm and 690 nm in the red region. When combined with the chemical composition data from LA‐ICP‐MS, this suggests that Cr3+ is the activator of the orange‐red and pink fluorescence, Mn2+ is responsible for the green fluorescence, and Fe inhibits the generation of fluorescence. All of them revealed inert to bright pink fluorescence under SWUV light. | ||||||||||||||||
