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.

#Carnelian is a form of #chalcedony whose amber, brown, and even green hues are caused by inclusions of iron oxide and other #silicate #minerals.
Carnelian is another form of #silicondioxide besides quartz.

#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.

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.

A #macrophotography #photo of a #quartz #crystal and the #rock matrix it started to grow on. Projections and partial #terminations, as well as rock #inclusions give character and color to the otherwise milky #translucence or #transparent #color of pure #silicondioxide #SiO2.
It’s #interesting (to 🦊 Fox, the #photographer) that SiO2 is a clear analog of #carbondioxide #CO2. #Silicon and #carbon are both in the same #Group on the #PeriodicTable (#IUPAC #Group14 to physicists, #GroupIV). But on the #Earth, SiO2 #crystallizes. Under what #conditions does CO2 crystallize? What do CO2 crystals that have grown over #geologictime look like?
Sometimes 🦊 wonders odd things.
