An ordinary fluorescent tube fits the description and hsuri may already
have one.

A neon tube also readily glows in the presence of r-f.

At a radio station where I worked in 1949, I used to grab any old
fluorescent tube at night to serve as a flashlight when making checks
outdoors. It worked well when the envelope was held near one end and
reguired no antenna nor hand contact with any terminal. Frequency of the
station was and still is 790 KHz.

In the Olden days, 1955 - 1960, I would startle [shock] the patrons at
the local Ice Cream Parlor by pulling into the parking lot at sundown
and load up my AM mobile on 75 meter phone with 60 watts into an 8 foot
whip and have a friend, also a ham, walk around the parking lot with an
8 foot fluorescent bulb being held in just one hand asking 'HELP, HELP,
Please someone HELP'. The owner of the Ice Cream Parlor, K1III, would
just chuckle as patrons came in asking for the phone. grin

Well, boys will be boys!
