There are a number of Fluorescent minerals avaliable in and around BCC. The main mineral to hunt is White Calcite which is located in Basalt areas, this calcite fluoresces... White, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Red, Green. Look for vugs in Basalt and veins near Basalt areas. A UV night light is a great help to find these rocks.

A great book on the subject is called...."Ultraviolet Light and Fluorescent Minerals" by T. Warren, S. Gleason, R. Bostwick, E. Verbeek.
