  2. Quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz

    Quartz is, therefore, classified structurally as a framework silicate mineral and compositionally as an oxide mineral. Quartz is the second most abundant mineral in Earth's continental crust, behind feldspar. [10] Quartz exists in two forms, the normal α-quartz and the high-temperature β-quartz, both of which are chiral. The transformation ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourmaline

    Tri-chromatic elbaite crystals on quartz, Himalaya Mine, San Diego Co., California, US. Tourmaline is a six-member ring cyclosilicate having a trigonal crystal system. It occurs as long, slender to thick prismatic and columnar crystals that are usually triangular in cross-section, often with curved striated faces. The style of termination at ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_physical...

    Unless stated otherwise, the properties of fused silica (quartz glass) and germania glass are derived from the SciGlass glass database by forming the arithmetic mean of all the experimental values from different authors (in general more than 10 independent sources for quartz glass and T g of germanium oxide glass). The list is not exhaustive.

    Quartz crystals with masses measured in thousands of pounds [5] and micas over 10 meters (33 ft) across and 4 meters (13 ft) thick have been found. [8] Spodumene crystals over 12 meters (40 ft) long have been found in the Black Hills of South Dakota , and beryl crystals 8.2 meters (27 ft) long and 1.8 meters (6 ft) in diameter have been found ...

  6. Smoky quartz - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoky_quartz

    Smoky quartz is a brownish grey, translucent variety of quartz that ranges in clarity from almost complete transparency to an almost-opaque brownish-gray or black crystals. [6] The color of smoky quartz is produced when natural radiation, emitted from the surrounding rock, activates color centers around aluminum impurities within the ...

  7. Coesite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coesite

    Coesite (/ ˈ k oʊ s aɪ t /) [3] is a form of silicon dioxide (Si O 2) that is formed when very high pressure (2–3 gigapascals), and moderately high temperature (700 °C, 1,300 °F), are applied to quartz.

  8. Crystal habit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_habit

    Smoky quartz with spessartine on top of feldspar matrix, featuring different crystal habits (shapes). In mineralogy, crystal habit is the characteristic external shape of an individual crystal or aggregate of crystals.

  9. 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]
