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.
