Hi, David– Welcome to the forum! Are you talking about spectra of mineral fluorescence, other kinds of luminescence, light transmission or reflection, or something else? About the only ones I can help with are UV fluorescence spectra (being like Rod a collector of fluorescent minerals). Two books by Manuel Robbins and one long out of print by Sterling Gleason ("Ultraviolet Guide to Minerals") have some info on such spectra (naturally the best I remember were in the out of print one), though it is limited, these being mainly for the amateur audience. The Fluorescent Mineral Society is described in FMSKIT.ARC in this forum's library. Back issues of the Journal of the FMS would have references to pro articles on these matters; someday I mean to scan/OCR them into electronic form, which should allow this to be found easily. –Doug
