Some will actually fluoresce visibly in daylight. The Rogerly mine is famous for coke-bottle green glassy clear cubes up to 1/2" or more. If you could grind down and polish a piece of that you might have some luck. It is particularly sensitive to LW UV (around 350-370 nm). eBay often has samples for sale in the Fluorescent Mineral section and the Yahoo Group for fluorescent minerals may have a dealer/collector who could supply suitable material.
