Fluorescence
MgCl2 and a tiny bit of ZnCl2 are mortared together.
Neither of the materials are fluorescent by themselves, after mortaring they are.
Chemoluminescence
Luminol (x ml) and ...
A bright chemoluminescent reaction takes place. The intensity of emitted light can be drastically increased by adding some aqueous NaOH, but the luminescence ends very quickly after the addition.
