Renggli et al. (2026) improved Christiansen Feature – Silicon Dioxide Concentration Model, from their letter in Planetary Research journal
Right after seeing that the Planetary Research journal began publishing its first papers, I checked the articles and letters, and especially the letter by Christian Renggli and others titled “The SiO2 abundance on the surfaces of the Moon and Mercury” piqued my interest immediately. Only some of the intriguing parts of the letter for me: the focus on planetary/moon surface composition estimation by remote measurements, new calibration of the Christiansen Feature - silicon dioxide model […] -
#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.Get a print or other merchandise at https://heronfox.pixels.com/featured/macro-amethyst-surface-2-heron-and-fox.html

#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.

A piece of blue #quartz, a type of quartz whose #blue #color is often a result of inclusions of sodium or different #silicate #minerals in the crystal, possibly with a small amount of iron.
The crustal is sitting on a light table.
