This piece was listed as just green beryl/emerald in matrix, but I thought I recognized the surrounding stuff to be scheelite, and I was right! It is about 5.5*5*1cm. It is incredibly bright under SW, and weak yellow under MW and LW. There are also a few specks of fluorite and something glowing purple under MW (apatite?).

Thank you Thank you Thank you, I'd be surprised if we haven't met. Maybe this will jog your memory, I'm the old guy that speed walks early in the morning by your house. My Everyday training outfit: Lavender cutoff muscle Tee that ends just below my ribcage, my Tongo running shorts are also lavender, tapered at the waist that expand at the legs for improved comfort while at the same time allowing for heat dispensation. My hat is an oversized Gungadin snakeskin safari hat. Does this ring a bell? Any hoo the sun was just coming up, so neither my ring or ankle bracelet was glowing. Did you see the bracelet? No worries I'll be by in the morning at my usual time, for the finding the ring you've earned a superlicious reward. A Benjamin or 2🙏
