  2. 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 ...

  3. Double terminated crystal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Terminated_Crystal

    Double terminated crystal. (Redirected from Double Terminated Crystal) Doubly terminated amethystine quartz crystal. A doubly terminated crystal, or double-terminated crystal, is a crystal with natural facets on both ends. [1]

  4. Iceland spar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iceland_spar

    Iceland spar is a colourless, transparent variety of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). [3] It crystallizes in the trigonal system, typically forming rhombohedral crystals. [4] It has a Mohs hardness of 3 and exhibits double refraction, splitting a ray of light into two rays that travel at different speeds and directions. [3][5]

  5. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    A synthetic quartz crystal grown by the hydrothermal method, about 19 centimetres (7.5 in) long and weighing about 127 grams (4.5 oz) Not all varieties of quartz are naturally occurring. Some clear quartz crystals can be treated using heat or gamma-irradiation to induce color where it would not otherwise have occurred naturally. Susceptibility ...

  6. Hexagonal crystal family - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexagonal_crystal_family

    In particular, there are crystals that have trigonal symmetry but belong to the hexagonal lattice (such as α-quartz). The hexagonal crystal family consists of the 12 point groups such that at least one of their space groups has the hexagonal lattice as underlying lattice, and is the union of the hexagonal crystal system and the trigonal ...

  7. Quartz-porphyry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz-porphyry

    Quartz porphyry from the island of Alnö, Sweden. Phenocrysts of clear glassy rounded quartz and white orthoclase feldspar are set in a fine-grained matrix. Sample is just over 10 cm long. Quartz-porphyry, in layman's terms, is a type of volcanic (igneous) rock containing large porphyritic crystals of quartz. [1][2] These rocks are classified ...
