[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 96668, member: 3111"] Sorry for opening an old post here, but from what I know some meteorites contains a lot of Silicon Carbide ( SiC ). A 9 volt battery and a couple of wires to the rock should make a slight glow between the negative wire and rock, just as a LED would glow. I could also be mega wrong here, but possibly worth a try. Silicon Carbide can 'simply' be made by smelting clay (aluminum silicate) with coke (carbon) at 1600'C in a graphite crucible ( Lely process ) [/QUOTE]
