Hi Laurence Garvie,
Thanks for filling-in some of the missing pieces of the minor puzzle
concerning your fascinating Rocks from Space Picture dated September
29, 2009.
Trace amounts of manganese (Mn) may certainly play a contributing if not
dominant role in explain the yellow colored
Hi David, Dr. Garvie, and the list,
I am having email and PC issues, so I am not sure if my prior attempts to

Hi All,
I notice that the Rocks from Space Picture of the Day, dated about a
year ago, September 29, 2009, features an unusually remarkable glowing
fluorescent meteorite. It's described as an 11.1 g piece of Norton
County (ASU#523) where The large enstatite crystals fluoresce bright
yellow.
Hi David and all,
I'm not a geologist but I suspect that when the thinsections are made
and polarized light is used to reveal the various colors (mineral make
up) of the meteorite that this is in effect about the same thing as
using fluorescent lighting. They also use quite an array of other

AL, David, List,
I mean, are the scientists really looking and checking for
fluorescent color values in meteorites on a systematic basis?
Yes, they do.

Hi,
we had last year some fun with Robert Fuchs, a collector of UV-minerals and
meteorites,
who has always a cabinet with fluorescent minerals at the Munich show,
to check some meteorites.

Hola larense,
Nice picture you posted! It really shows clearly in dramatic graphic
form that given a simple longwave UV light (UVA: 400nm-315nm) that a
possibly remarkable and thought provoking image result can be achieved.
Congratulations!
I wonder if you've been able to determine the identity

Hola to all. We have a slice of the SaH 02500 meteorite, that under
ultraviolet light ( LW ) shows this fluorescent crystals :
