  2. Rutilated quartz - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Herkimer diamond - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  5. Dumortierite - Wikipedia

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spruce_Pine_Mining_District

    The Spruce Pine Mining District is a swath of the valley of the North Toe River in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northwestern North Carolina. The area is mined for its mica, kaolin, quartz and feldspar. [1] Spruce Pine district is one of the largest suppliers of high-purity quartz, which is used in the manufacture of silicon for integrated ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Llanite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Llanite

    Llanite. Llanite is a porphyritic rhyolite with distinctive phenocrysts of blue quartz (a rare quartz color) and perthitic feldspar (light grayish-orangeish). The brown, fine-grained groundmass consists of very small quartz, feldspar, and biotite mica crystals. Llanite comes from a hypabyssal porphyritic rhyolite dike that intrudes Precambrian ...

  9. 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 ...
