Ion beam induced luminescence (IBIL) was applied, along with cathodoluminescence (CL), on seven samples of marbles of historic and architectural interest. Th CL colours, observed in a cold cathode device, have been related to the IBIL spectra. Moreover, a detailed analysis of the IBIL spectral features has made it possible to disclose the influence of the chemical composition and to emphasize the crystal-chemical role of the Mn2+. Beyond the chemical information and the crystal-chemical interpretation, the spectres are recognized as being valuable in the field of archaeological studies for their significance as fingerprints of marbles, giving information on their nature and origins.
