Search for Achondrite / Eucrite

Postby Snoopy » Sun Nov 02, 2014 4:57 pm

Does anyone on this forum have any ideas regarding search for Achondrite / Eucrite meteorite with UV, fluorescent or other light in the darkness.
Are there any light that can reflect Achondrite / Eucrite meteorite?

I have a UV torch, having moved it all around my display cabinet in the dark, I can safely say that none of mine glow under UV light!
Pretty much all classifications are represented in my cabinet.

Never heard of any glowing under UV, but do remember a discussion a while back about someone using a thermal imaging camera, night vision or similar that they thought made the meteorites stand out more at night in the desert...the conclusion was that they are more likely to heat up more than the surrounding rocks in the day because they are darker and then retain the heat later into the night.
