The other is an electrical dis- charge, called triboluminescence. It oceurs as ice crystals break. Apparently some of the energy binding the crystals is released in the form of electricity. This electric charge, striking the air, produces light by the same prin- ciple as the glow in a neon light. Triboluminescence is common in rock candy, and the shades of color even vary with the flavors. Sugar gives off this ghost light at room temperatures, when a sugar lump is broken.
