#quartzcrystal — Public Fediverse posts

I made... Lots of things. I run out of beads sadly... More in March I guess!!!!
Variétés d'Agate, Morganite, Quartz, Hématite, Opalite... I'm trying to get back on tracks with simple yet enjoyable things 🥰

Currently a competitor in #MinCup23, #Quartz is a #crystalline form of silicon dioxide (#SiO2) with a trigonal #crystal system that, ideally, results in the growth of a hexagonal column with pointed ends, but nature rarely allows this, as this #Macro #image demonstrates.

#Amethyst is #quartz #crystal that has been colored #purple, often due to inclusions of iron in the crystal.
The #Macro #Photograph shows several small, partial #terminations, where the crystal comes to a point.

This piece of #blue #quartz is joined to the #rock it grew from.
#BlueQuartz is created when a growing silicon dioxide #crystal includes sodium or other silicate minerals.

#Quartz is a #crystal form of #SiliconDioxide (#SiO2) in a trigonal crystal system.
Other #mineral forms of silicon dioxide exist, but quartz is probably one of the most common.
Other things can be included into the crystal, or the crystal structure can be deformed, both of which are forms of #flaws in the crystal.
