Absolutely Kreigh!
Since geoformation on the moon happened in a reducing environment (very
little or no available oxygen) most rare earth elements would be in their
lowest possible oxidation state. 
I don't have knowledge of any research being done in the field of
fluorescence on those lunar samples.
Lower gravitation would also cause less differentiation. I would LOVE to go
over some of those light colored rocks with my UV lamps. 
It's not very likely that will ever happen but still ;-)))
