Two of the most common at standard pressure are known as α and β. The α-tridymite phase is favored at elevated temperatures (above 870 °C) and it converts to β-cristobalite at 1,470 °C. [4] [5] However, tridymite does usually not form from pure β-quartz, one needs to add trace amounts of certain compounds to achieve this. [6]

This arrangement of atoms in a crystal structure is known as hexagonal close packing (hcp). If, however, all three planes are staggered relative to each other and it is not until the fourth layer is positioned directly over plane A that the sequence is repeated, then the following sequence arises:
Pyrargyrite is a sulfosalt mineral consisting of silver sulfantimonite, Ag 3 SbS 3. Known also as dark red silver ore, ruby blende, garnete blende or ruby silver, it is an important source of the metal. It is closely allied to, and isomorphous with, the corresponding sulfarsenide known as proustite or light red silver ore.
