Just a thought, but what about wulfenite on those orange crystals? :?:

I thought about calcite, but you'd have to get a lot closer, or tell us the crystal system for us to even start to make an educated guess because we can't really see them clearly. ...or at least I can't. :?

These two rocks fluoresce under a black light. The geode glows sherbet orange and the light blue stone glows blue. The other rocks so far don't fluoresce. Bad photo, you can see the blue but not the orange but you can tell that they glow where the other rocks by them are just dark.

well, it's not aquamarine because that doesn't fluoresce. So it might be Fluorite or Topaz but I think topaz puts off a non blue glow, weak, if it does. So I'm thinking it's Fluorite.

Fixed. The photos don't copy for some reason when I quoted myself. I had to reattach it.
