Hey! The snail swirl things are synthetic copper doped zinc sulfide in resin, nothing in the mineral world so far as I know exhibits such bright and extremely long duration phosphorescence. The 'salt' is almost certainly selenite - compare the color and duration of phosphorescence to your more euhedral piece at 1:15 in your video "This is most of my collection June 2024".
The 'strontianite' looked like okenite to me. Contrary to fluomin, it definitely fluoresces. Charoite is usually composed of chariote, aegirine and steacyite (which is radioactive). You picked a very nice one!
