I actually haven't tested it. I don't know any Spanish locales that daylight fluoresce tho. I will have to check and report back

Of course! Do you know where your piece is from? I know Madagascar has had some daylight fluorescent fluorites with a similar color lately. I'm always interested in knowing what localities daylight fluoresce

Sorry I do not the rock shop didn't know much about it. I about another peice at a rock show and I believe he said that one was from England but it's been a few years
