Everything About Quartz

The mineral quartz is the second most common mineral (after feldspar) in the world, and even though a lot of it might not be eye catching, there are a few different quartz crystals that will definitely catch your attention.

Love your dry sense of humor! Great info on Quartz! 😉😂

[@georgiabeaverson5476]

I think you might have reversed the meanings of translucent and transparent. You can see through something transparent. It’s translucent when light passes through but you can’t see through it. Otherwise, loved the video!

I like your content. Nice and clear and a decent production value, even in 2015 already. With a better microphone/ better acoustics it would be even better. It's a shame that you seem to have stopped making video's, you could have developed into a major educational channel, accumulating YT experience as you go. I see your views have dropped to under 1k after a while, but with some social media spamming, and catchier thumbnails this really could have worked. But you probably have a real job by now.

Great quick run down of quartz. I love them all and everything in between. I think most people don't realize how key quartz is to earth life and atmosphere. I dabble in many ways with quartz that few know about. Your family history is powerful key.

hi, hope it's ok if we use this you tube clip at my sons primary school. he has a HUGE collection which he has inherited from my mother; along with her love of aall things crystal, gem, mineral etc ( excuse my own ignorance, i just have the 'pretty' ones!) My sons year 2 class is doing geology and have asked him/us to bring a prsentation in.

[@allisonproffitt6702]

Your humor is grossly underestimated. I get the same response when the grocery cashier asks if I found everything ok and I say no...I find rocks equally as amusing when others do not. Joke's on them I guess.

[@rastastarman]

One mistake in your video. Here in Maine we have a mineral locality that has in fact historically produced rose quartz crystals. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video.

[@jemboycapuyan7829]

thanks for the info. maam

[@lievvii6786]

This is a gem content lol

[@RichardOles]

at 4:26 you are incorrect about Transparency vs. Translucency . Translucence means light can pass through, but not detail, as there is still some opacity. Transparency, means that light passes through relatively unimpeded, and, like glass, details can be see within and beyond---like clear quartz and glass.

[@snakehandler87]

As a kid i lived in an area rich with them. I would spend my recess time collecting all kinds of quartz. My favorite i called oreo. It was a hexagon smoky that was perfectly sectioned colorwise. The pointy end sections solid black and the middle was white. Lost my collection when my house burned down. 😞

[@ui4287]

Thank you for a great primer on Quartz! Your point on baking amethyst to make citrine never occurred to me. I suspect I've been hoodwinked based on this knowledge, at least in the past. QUESTIONS: 1. How can one determine if this act of cheating has taken place? Is there something to look for? 2. I assume there are many tricks used by unscrupulous to dupe. Is there a resource to assist in identifying these deceptive practices related to crystals and common gems?

[@angieheinrich5125]

Suggestions on legit sources to find the quartz w/ liquid in it? Those are cool!

[@clairelewis-w9087]

[@1AnunnakiJedi]

Good video

[@GabrielleEther]

So what would be that beauty at the end of the video? Amethyst and citrine or Amethyst turning citrine?? Hopefully someone can please explain.??

[@nak8490]

In order for someone to artificially turn Amethyst into Citrine, Amethyst must be heated at 500 degrees Celsius or 935 degrees Fahrenheit. Usually Citrines that are actually heat treated Amethysts have colors ranging from orange, golden brown or a brownish orange, but some have colors that resemble natural Citrines making it sometimes hard to tell. The same thing can happen to Prasiolite which is a rare leek green variety of Quartz. Most Prasiolites are artificially produced from Amethyst or Citrine by a combination of 150 degree Celsius heat and irradiation of either Cobalt 60 atoms or E-beam gamma radiation. Usually artificial Prasiolite is called, "Green Amethyst" and sometimes has a dark leek green color, but some have a normal light leek green color making it a bit hard to tell if it's really natural or not. The color in not all, but some Prasiolites will fade when exposed to direct sunlight. Natural Prasiolite is quite rare. It was first discovered in 1950 at the Montezuma Mine in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Prasiolite gets it's name from the Greek words Prason meaning "Leek" and Lithos meaning "Stone". So far it only comes from four countries in the entire world. Canada, Brazil, England, and Poland. I had to go to both websites Gemdat and Wikipedia to get info about how Prasiolite is artificially made and the Greek word for leek.

Great video darling. I think you meant to say rose quartz is translucent and never transparent though rather than the other way round...

[@genewalker9591]

So basicly, a year ago, I got rose quartz, and after sitting in the light, the rose red faded.

[@mbarrera47]

This video mostly talks about different kinds of quartz that are based on color. There should be more discussions of the properties and features of quartz that are tested, measured, and observed for identifying minerals.

I think you may have translucent and transparent mixed up. Transparent means that things can be seen clearly through it, while translucent mean that light can pass through it, but not clearly enough for things on the other side to be plainly visible.

Thank you from my cerebral processor for the enlightenment from yours! d>_0b Do you happen to know why (clear) quartz seems bound to the six-sided 120 degree angle convergence at the apex? d0_ob Which was actually the topic answer I was searching for when I found this vid. Seems, from what I've read, this is a universal truth, as the article I read used the lexicon-plated word ALWAYS. d>_0b
