fluoresced
Shone under UV
Fluoresced is the past tense of fluoresce, meaning to emit light after absorbing radiation or other energy.
Certain minerals fluoresce under ultraviolet light, glowing in vivid colors invisible under normal conditions: The scorpion fluoresced bright blue under the blacklight.
The effect differs from phosphorescence, which persists after the energy source is removed.
