Dear Les and colleages,

You ask in your interesting mail of Nov. 14, 1997 if any calculations of halo phenomena
have been made for other crystals than those of water ice. I can answer this question
with "yes". Already at the end of last century Cornu produced haloes by alum crystals.
For further information, please see the following references:

Cornu, A., 1889. Sur la reproduction artificielle des halos et des cercles parhélique. Comtes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séance de lAcademie des Sciences 108:429-433.

Mattsson, J. O., 1966. Experimental optical phenomena. Weather 21:14-15,19.

Mattsson, J. O., 1974. Experiments on horizontal haloes in divergent light. Weather
29:148-150.

Best regards
