Fluorescent Minerals (Under Short Wave UV)

The fluorescent material here typically has calcite (Fl. red), willemite (Fl. green/yellow-green), and fluorite (Fl. blue/violet). Other fluorescent minerals found in this material include aragonite (Fl. white/cream), caliche (Fl. cream/orange), hydrozincite (Fl. blue-white), smithsonite (Fl. pink), and two unknowns - one that fluoresces deep pink/rose under SW and the other fluoresces a light blue under short wave UV light.
