These pieces are consisting mostly of brightly orange fluorescing hackmanite, with some SW fluorescing feldspar, plus some occasional other unidentified minerals, one with a green LW/SW response, and one with powder blue. Some parts of these specimens do tenebrescence under SW and LW light after only a couple of minutes (SW seemed faster and offered a stronger color change) and will quickly bleach back out in sunlight.  


These pieces of raw Sodalite var Hackmanite are from Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec.
