Honey calcite crystal nodules from Morocco. Shine a UV light on them, they'll glow a very bright white. They're also phosphorescent! Phosphorescence is what happens when the mineral still glows after the UV light source is removed. The video shows this in action.

We nicknamed these "cauliflower calcite" due to it's appearance and color under UV.

Fluorescent Green Agate from Scott's Gulf, Smryna, Tennessee

A major component of rock collecting (for us) is simply getting out in nature. A buddy dragged us out to a very remote area here in middle Tennessee to hunt for fluorescent green agate. Since we consider ourselves pure "Glow Hounds" we weren't anticipating any glow rocks, just the beauty of the area, but we brought our UV lights anyway.
