This specimen is from Sterling Hill Mine, New Jersey. The minerals present are Bustamite (glows red under SW) center right 2/3rds of specimen, Wollastonite (orange/yellow - SW) left 1/3rd center and top, Willemite - green over majority of specimen - SW, Gahnite - non-fluorescing dark green crystals.
The first photo was taken under short wave ultraviolet lighting and should be the photo you look at to see the fluorescent colors referred to above. The photo below was taken under long wave ultraviolet lighting. Most of the colors in the photo below are the result of the UV light reflecting off the light colored minerals in the specimen. Some of the willemite in the specimen does fluorresce green undeer the long wave light.
An added bonus of New Jersey specimens, is that the Willemite present will phosphoresce, in the dark, for a short while after the lights are turned off.
