Editing Melange (Dune) (section)

===Appearance===
Herbert is vague in describing the appearance of the spice. He hints at its color in ''Dune Messiah'' when he notes that Guild Navigator [[Edric (Dune)|Edric]] "swam in a container of orange gas ... His tank's vents emitted a pale orange cloud rich with the smell of the geriatric spice, melange."<ref name="Messiah"/> Later in ''[[Heretics of Dune]]'' (1984), a discovered hoard of melange appears as "mounds of dark reddish brown".<ref name="Heretics">{{cite book |last=Herbert |first=Frank |title=[[Heretics of Dune]] |year=1984 }}</ref> Herbert also indicates [[fluorescence]] in ''[[God Emperor of Dune]]'' (1981) when the character [[Moneo Atreides|Moneo]] notes: "Great bins of melange lay all around in a gigantic room cut from native rock and illuminated by glowglobes ... The spice had glowed radiant blue in the dim silver light. And the smell—bitter cinnamon, unmistakable."<ref name="GEoD">{{cite book |last=Herbert |first=Frank |title=[[God Emperor of Dune]] |year=1981}}</ref> Herbert writes repeatedly, starting in ''[[Dune (novel)|Dune]]'' (1965), that melange smells like cinnamon.<ref name="Dune">{{cite book |last=Herbert |first=Frank |title=[[Dune (novel)|Dune]] |year=1965}}</ref> In ''Dune'', [[Lady Jessica]] notes that her first taste of spice "tasted like cinnamon".<ref name="Dune"/> [[Wellington Yueh|Dr. Yueh]] adds that the flavor is "never twice the same ... It's like life—it presents a different face each time you take it. Some hold that the spice produces a learned-flavor reaction. The body, learning a thing is good for it, interprets the flavor as pleasurable—slightly euphoric. And, like life, never to be truly synthesized."<ref name="Dune"/>
