Buckwheat
This rock was collected in June 2010 by me in the Buckwheat dump in Franklin, NJ. I assume there is calcite and willemite, but I am unsure of the other minerals. Anyone have any ideas or things I should do to find an accurate answer?
Trancas Geode - regular light
Trancas Geode - regular light. This 4in x 2.5 in geode is quite interesting, with ripples and protrusions. (The other half is not nearly as interesting)
Trancas Geode - SW light
Trancas Geode - SW light. As with all trancas geodes, this one fluoresces brilliant green inside and out. However, it also seems to have something else in it, probably calcite.
Trancas Geode - phosphorescence after SW light.
Trancas Geode - phosphorescence after SW light. The calcite glows blue and continues to glow for several seconds after removing the UV.

Spectacular photos
Doug, these are the sexiest photos of a fluorescent mineral that I've ever seen. The specimen is beautiful. The images are crisp, with excellent depth of field, and peering into the (noiseless) phosphorescence is like lifting a veil. Wow. Thank you!
