I've found a few chert that have green to blue-green fluorescence.
Some of them are so reactive that they are easily seen under the UV with the lights on. One rock in photos 1-5 has a green dot on one side and a blue dot on the other side. Lighting one side does not light the other side and they are not symmetrically one over the other. I'll post other photos in subsequent posts.

This is the rest with green. The hue varies, the sample in photo 12 has a larger area with a darker green.

Very cool. It's an entirely different landscape under UV. Unfortunately, fluorescence is rarely a diagnostic tool. For example calcite itself can glow in a variety of colors, including red, blue, white, pink, green, and orange. The green does look like hyalite though.
