Precisely.

I think the tip just has more material to fluoresce and so it's more pronounced. If you use a blue source it will be even more pronounced with a nearly white tip and ghostly blue core in the blade.
You can see photos I took here: https://imgur.com/a/kidIw Each photo is about 150mm of clear blade with clear giftwarp butted against a section of amber enhanced with gift wrap and without.
