Just checked it out real quick... I wonder about the credibility of the 
site's author when he posts comments like this:

"Becky. Rocks do not glow in the dark. Really. None of them. Well, some 
of them, but not any of the ones you’ve seen. Becky. Rocks. They do not 
glow in the dark. No. No, they do not."

What this guy think he was seeing when they were demonstrating all those 
fluorescent minerals?  I cannot imagine an experienced mineral collector 
who has not at least heard of the concept of fluorescence and 
phosphorescence.  If he is trying to say something else, then he is not 
getting his point across, which is just as bad.

Sounds like this fellow needs to get his own act together before he 
passes judgement on others.
