Calcite, Fluorite
A classic fluorescent combo. You typically see the calcite fluorites from China or Morocco and they make wonderful specimens as they're well crystallized and brightly fluorescent. This Schickler mine material is mildly interesting though in that the fluorite is sandwiched between the calcite layers.

Fluorapatite and Unknown
This is a wonderful fluorapatite specimen gifted to me by tess99991 from YouTube. It makes a wonderful daylight specimen as the fluorapatites are aesthetic and fairly well terminated. Unfortunately this isn't the best fluorescent specimen as the fluorapatite is a bit dim with the unknown red in the middle being the brightest fluorescer. Tess99991's channel features wonderful videos of collecting trips from various spots in the Bancroft region where he collects specimens like this one.
