I've seen this rainbow or blueing effect take place when quenching red hot metals in water or oil. So I'm wondering if rapid cooling may be the reason for this effect. Maybe even cool air on a rapid decent? Cheers, Jim K In a message dated 7/21/2011 12:21:37 P.M. Central Daylight

Jim K and Listerites   I would have to agree that the heating and cooling process does cause an reaction where the surface does turn blue/rainbow color due to oxidation on the surface of meteorite on entry into the atmosphere. I think the two factors in this case is heat/flame and the oxygen
