I'm off to watch Green Lantern movie this afternoon...
Speaking of Green, I'd like to ask which gems fluoresce GREEN under black light... I've tried searching in the net but not much info found except for synthetic spinel & Willemite...
I'm asking this because I have this old & scratchy seafoamy gem which I bought as "aquamarine". I know aquamarine & green beryl do not fluoresce under uv light. But to my surprise, this one does! and it's GREEN. Can someone share their thoughts? thanks thanks
I've found this gem willemite that's similar to my fluorescent "beryl": http://www.minfind.com/mineral-28838.html
