I was trying to dedome the LED that's on my SKO3, which by the way does not specify on the listing I purchased it which LED it is. I do plan to do an emitter swap.
Anyway, when I de-domed it, it like turned into a UV light all the sudden. When the dome is placed back on it turns into a 6500K light or so. What the heck LED is this?

Yep that’s how white LEDs work, a near uv blue LED with phosphor on top that converts it to white light
Not sure exactly what emitter that is but typically the only emitters you should attempt dedoming are 519a and older cree emitters like xm-l/xm-l2 and xp-g/xp-g2. Can also dedome sst40 and sst20 but much more difficult to do
You removed the yellow phosphor layer and exposed bare chip. That layer turns blue light into white.
