Amazonite. It looks like these samples are grey or only slightly green when they come out from the mine. Sunlight intensifies the green color (and the fluorescence?). The fluorescence is a bluish green only under shortwave UV light. No fluorescence under longwave.

Photo in normal light.
Fluorescence under shortwave UV light (254nm Hg light).
