We observed clear fractoluminescence in crystalline quartzite, quartz crystal and fused silica at
uniaxial compressional loading tests by commercial digital cameras. These fractoluminescence are
composed of blue and red colors. In particular, a blue color does not appear in fractures of fused
silica but appear in crystalline quartzite and quartz crystal, which implies that the piezoelectric
charge and discharge play a key role in the blue-color fractoluminescence via excitation of N2
molecules.
