Hi Barb, This is Tom Phillips. I take meteorite micrographs. My Gallery is at http://www.meteorite.com/meteorite-gallery/ I have an aus Jena Fluoval (a fluorescence microscope) that I use for thin section cross polarized light examination. I looked through many samples (200+) for even the smallest speck that would fluoresce. I had no luck.
On a similar note, I have on occasion, scanned many meteorites with a Geiger counter and no positive tests there either. Just because I never found it, doesn't mean it isn't out there so if you hear of a fluorescing meteorite, please let me know. I would like to get a piece.
