Dravite/Uvite, brown in daylight with a brown (dark orange) fluorescence under shortwave UV light. Not the most impressive piece, but fluorescent turmalines are not super common. While originally labeled as dravite, most turmalines from the locality are labeled fluor-uvite on mindat. Not sure if this was analyzed or not or why it is labeled dravite.
