identify with fluorescence?

[amateurgemluv]

I need some opinions. I installed a blacklight in my observation table today, and stumbled across what I thought was just a crystal I'd had for ages.
however under UV light the rock glowed such a brilliant blue I was a bit taken back. I've been reading fluorescence charts to try and identify this thing... but I'm an amateur and I'm not really sure what to think?
thanks in advance, and sorry if this is the wrong part of the forum for this.

A bit more info please?
There are 2 gems - assume you mean the pear shape?
Is the entire pear shape fluorescent or is it all coming from that inclusion near the tip?

sorry! I can see the confusion.
I used the other rock as a support for the pear shaped one, but yes! the pearl shaped one. and it's the whole stone. i tried to provide better photos.
This amateur gem enthusiast is pretty stumped.

Probably glass.
We can't ID like this though - we dont know your UV source wave length etc etc

I knew of the glass that glows green, it's supposedly highly collectible but I had no idea that glass could glow other colors. I will do research on this. that photo looks cool, I could see myself owning things like that. thank you for your input.
as for wavelength, I'll have to read more about this too. I have always used what I was told was "longwave" uv light.
But this amateur couldn't get more specific than that.
when using a fluorescence chart for identification using Longwave UV, is there a specific standard wave length that is used? I will probably answer that question myself reading more into it, but I like fluorescence a lot and plan to continue studying the fluorescent properties of geology.

It is a lead crystal “part” from a chandelier. It is the lead content in the glass that causes the blue fluoresce.

Please don’t shine UV light on your skin - no joke, read about that too

Or, worse, your eyes! At least wear glasses. Even regular glasses should block a lot of UV. I once had a job that required me to look down at a bright UV light source -- always wore a Lexan faceshield for that. Now I have a better job .
