    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roselite

    Roselite. Roselite is a rare arsenate mineral with chemical formula: Ca2(Co,Mg) [AsO4]2·H2O. It was first described in 1825 for an occurrence in the Rappold mines of Schneeberg, Saxony, Germany and named by Armand Lévy after German mineralogist Gustav Rose. [ 2] It occurs in cobalt -bearing hydrothermal environments and was associated with ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herkimer_diamond

    Herkimer diamonds are double-terminated quartz crystals discovered within exposed outcrops of dolomite in and around Herkimer County, New York, and the Mohawk River Valley in the US. [1][2] They are not diamonds; the "diamond" in their name is due to both their clarity and well formed faces. Because the first discovery sites were in the village ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_rose_(crystal)

    A desert rose is an intricate rose -like formation of crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte, which include abundant sand grains. [1] The "petals" are crystals flattened on the c axis, fanning open in radiating clusters. The rosette crystal habit tends to occur when the crystals form in arid sandy conditions, [1] such as the evaporation of a ...

  7. Quartzite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartzite

    Quartzite. Quartzite is a hard, non- foliated metamorphic rock which was originally pure quartz sandstone. [1][2] Sandstone is converted into quartzite through heating and pressure usually related to tectonic compression within orogenic belts. Pure quartzite is usually white to grey, though quartzites often occur in various shades of pink and ...

  8. Rhodochrosite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodochrosite

    Rhodochrosite is a manganese carbonate mineral with chemical composition MnCO 3. In its pure form (rare), it is typically a rose-red colour, [5] but it can also be shades of pink to pale brown. It streaks white, [6] and its Mohs hardness varies between 3.5 and 4.5. Its specific gravity is between 3.45 and 3.6. [7]

  9. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    Quartz. Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica (silicon dioxide). The atoms are linked in a continuous framework of SiO 4 silicon–oxygen tetrahedra, with each oxygen being shared between two tetrahedra, giving an overall chemical formula of SiO 2. Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral ...
