Found some fluorescent rocks/minerals, have no idea what they are though

Was wondering if anyone had an idea of what minerals these might be, I found them looking around some gravel in a local park. The UV pics are under 365nm light, I'm in the southern part of New Brunswick, Canada if thats of any help, thanks!

Gearksutite - Wagon Wheel Gap, Colorado, USA

I hadn't heard of this mineral until I saw it pop up locally, picked it up for a steal. It weighs 173g and is about 6x6x5cm. Bright white under LW, teal green under MW and light blue under SW. I assume it's mostly activated by organics.

Went to a florescent mineral show in Michigan yesterday, took pics of a display

It's still going today if anyone is interested.

Hyalite, Saleeite, Lapis Lazuli, and a thunder egg under shortwave light

Just a few specimens from my collection under a shortwave light.

  1. I originally bought this for the lovely yellow fluorapatite crystals on the other side of the specimen but quickly found that it also had quite a bit of hyalite included. The hyalite looks weirdly out of focus when under UV light.

  2. A tiny sliver of saleeite, a uranium mineral which puts out that classic radiation green glow under both shortwave and longwave light.

  3. I'm fairly sure this is some lapis lazuli, a bunch of specimens I bought a couple years back all got thrown into random boxes without being labelled. Whatever it is it has a nice blue glow under shortwave.

  4. A thunder egg. It's green. What more is there to say lol.
