Several of the most famous mineral localities known for spectacularly fluorescent mineral associations involve apatite group minerals, calcite and ore minerals. For example, Långban, Sweden, with svabite, hedyphane and mimetite; and Franklin, New Jersey, USA, with fluorapatite, svabite and turneaurite (see e.g., Bostwick 1977, Robbins 1994). Apatite is also an extremely common mineral, formed under a wide range of conditions and in many types of host rock. The diversity of its luminescence is...
