Quote from a column called Random Kinds of Factness by Barrett and Mingo which appears in Contra Costa Times papers regularly:

<What's the name for the blue-green sparks that appear when you chew wintergreen Life Savers in the dark?
"Triboluminescence"
>

My term has been the piezophoto effect (for pressure to light)
Any etymonogists want to clarify vis a vis Latin or Greek?
