various

Hi,

Can we use the word 'various' with uncountable nouns? I did search online for clues but seem to have gotten not very far with my effort.

various furniture -- sounds good.

various equipment -- sounds good too.

But? words that are meant to used abstractly like 'happiness'?

various happiness

So we can use the word 'various' with some uncountable nouns but not all?
