An excellent image of
a zircon under CL from Rice University. If you look at it you
might consider whether the light-colored planar features are "healed"
fractures.

Lars Moeller has posted
some CL images of Danish sandstones.
This is probably a copyright
violation, but someone else has put up some sandstone CL images
from-- Luminescence Microscopy and Spectroscopy : Qualitive and
Quantitative Applications (Charles E. Barker and Otto C. Kopp,
Editors)
Charles Onasch, Bowling
Green State University, has posted some CL images, sandstones
are at the bottom.
