Mixed fluorescent minerals including afghanite, calcite, albite, scapolite, phlogopite, and others yet to be identified from Badakhshan, Afghanistan.  Pictured under white light, long wave ultraviolet, mid-wave ultraviolet, and short wave ultraviolet.  You can see the other side of this amazingly cool rock here:  https://arockmaniac.tumblr.com/post/183099375015/mixed-fluorescent-minerals-including-afghanite

Baratovite from the type locality of the Dara-i-Pioz Glacier (Dara-Pioz), Alai Range (Alayskiy), Tien Shan Mtn, Districts of Republican Subordination, Tajikistan under short wave ultraviolet, mid-wave ultraviolet, and white light.  The baratovite fluoresces bright bluish white under short wave UV.  Also incorportated in the specimen are agrellite (fluorescent pink), albite (fluorescent red), aegirine (black, non-fluorescent), and an unknown fluorescent green mineral.  The likely candidates for the unknown are willemite & thorite as they are known from the location.  The location is in an extremely remote and dangerous area accessible only by helicopter.
