  2. Rutile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutile

    Rutile is a common accessory mineral in high-temperature and high-pressure metamorphic rocks and in igneous rocks. Thermodynamically, rutile is the most stable polymorph of TiO 2 at all temperatures, exhibiting lower total free energy than metastable phases of anatase or brookite. [7] Consequently, the transformation of the metastable TiO 2 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutilated_quartz

    Rutilated quartz used as a gemstone. Rutilated quartz is a variety of quartz which contains acicular (needle-like) inclusions of rutile. [1] It is used for gemstones. These inclusions mostly look golden, but they also can appear silver, copper red or black. The inclusions may be distributed randomly or in bundles, which sometimes are arranged ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dumortierite

    Dumortierite quartz is blue colored quartz containing abundant dumortierite inclusions. Dumortierite was first described in 1881 for an occurrence in Chaponost, in the Rhône - Alps of France and named for the French paleontologist Eugène Dumortier (1803–1873). [5] It typically occurs in high temperature aluminium rich regional metamorphic ...

    Mohs scale. The Mohs scale (/ moʊz / MOHZ) of mineral hardness is a qualitative ordinal scale, from 1 to 10, characterizing scratch resistance of minerals through the ability of harder material to scratch softer material. The scale was introduced in 1812 by the German geologist and mineralogist Friedrich Mohs, in his book Versuch einer ...
