Some examples from mindat, where it goes by its more "official" name of Opal-AN:

https://www.mindat.org/photo-85183.html (from Poland, in visible light) and
https://www.mindat.org/photo-85184.html (same specimen under SWUV, showing the bright green fluorescence)
https://www.mindat.org/photo-164140.html (from Australia, visible light and SWUV)
https://www.mindat.org/photo-180893.html (from Namibia, visible light) and
https://www.mindat.org/photo-180894.html (same specimen under SWUV)
https://www.mindat.org/photo-215595.html (from Namibia, visible light)

And below a stereo-micro example from my own collection, showing clear colorless "icing" of Hyalite covering the tips of a divergent spray of black Tourmaline needles, from Farm Tubussis, Erongo region, Namibia. Illuminated by a white LED, but I left the shortwave UV lamp on: The fluorescence is so strong that you don't need a darkened room to see it - the bits most brightly lit by the UV lamp show up deep green anyway!
