Wollastonite (white) with diopside (dark green) with (probably) minor calcite. The fluorescence is quite interesting: yellow/orange fluorescence under shortwave UV light, nothing with long wave, and yellow again with a 405nm blue laser. With the laser there is a red flash (typical for calcite); not sure if it is from the wollastonite or some underlying calcite, not really visible otherwise.
