Abstract
Boralsilite is well known to mineralogists. Its nominal formula is Al16B6Si2O37. Though it is known now for nearly 25 years no luminescence studies have been carried out.We attemped synthesis of this mineral by combustion method and introduced lanthanide activator Europium and Cerium during the synthesis.Characteristic emissions of Ce3+, Eu3+ and Eu2+ is reported. Maximum PL intensity was obtained for the activator concentration of 1 mol%.
