Really needed info. Saprkling Ice??


I have a question for you. Well can somebody tell me why when you crack de icebox in COMPLETE darkness so you can take de icecubes out of it, the ice cubes sparks?? the cubes when broken emit a light green sparkle, like a flash. Which is the name of that phenomena and how does it works??
Thnx for your replies and your time, I've been searching a lot, but I can't find anything because I don't know the name of that.
Until next time
