Salut Fabien, Hello List, ... and, with regard to their TL colors: "Ordinary chondrites, the most common meteorites, luminesce brightly with a maximum at about 200°C; a second peak occurs at 350°C, and the color at both peaks is blue green." "Aubrites are a small class of meteorites with an entirely different glow curve, with several peaks and colors ranging from blue to red." "In ordinary chondrites the mineral feldspar produces the TL; in aubrites, enstatite is primarily responsible." (Excerpts culled from the S&T article I mentioned earlier) Best wishes, Bernd ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
