The fluorescent minerals in the specimen are possibly calcite or possibly uranium. The specimen comes from the Yellow Cat area of Utah.
The first image was taken under a long wave ultraviolet light. The fluorescing minerals fluoresce yellow. Uranium is present in the Yellow Cat area and it fluoresces yellow under both long and short wave ultraviolet lights. Any purple areas are the reflection of the long wave light off the normally light tan to grey non-fluorescing minerals of the specimen.
The photo below was taken under short wave ultraviolet light. It does fluoresce yellow, lightly. The purple color is the reflection of the light off the normally light non-fluorescing minerals present in the specimen.
