How to make pure, synthetic quartz

[@------country-boy-------]

i just want to mention this technology uses high pressure as well - the technology was actually invented at Bell Laboratories in the 1950's. Quartz rocks are dissolved in sodium hydroxide and water at high temperatures in a high pressure vessel. As temperature is lowered the silicon dioxide molecules fall out of solution and auto assemble onto seed crystals. The process can be repeated to make the crystals more pure - (pressure vessel washed and crystals redissolved and recrystallized). It took many years to perfect the technology.

[@Reth_Hard]

It was great to see these big pieces of quartz but your comment is actually more interesting than the whole video...

[@undernetjack]

Thanks, that was close to my guess. I have dissolved sand with NAOH and briefly considered getting side tracked, but alas , on task and on time....lol

[@novelay]

@@undernetjack does anyone here then also knows how to turn turn the sio into amethyst or how the process of synthesing other materials work. Me and my brother are gonna try the sr method to grow and start looking into this all

[@MikeFarleyHealer]

Thank you for this explaination! It's given more people the knowledge they need than you know just with a simple comment. Thank you,! One thing I worry about synthetic crystals is they don't have the same frequency, or even the same earth energy. When I hold crystals (after using reiki for many years my hands have became very sensitive to subtle energies) I hold them and I can feel a difference, one feels as if it connects with you more and synthetic I'm assuming has little earth energy and lower frequency atleast it feels that way when holding them. Holding the synthetic crystals gives the near similar feeling as glass while natural ones feel energetic and connected if that makes sense, but hey it just may be me alone and I can be one hundred percent wrong and I absolutely acknowledge that! I just wanted to see what your thoughts are on this. Thanks friend

[@karim1485]

Do you have any name for extra literature I can read into? Sounds super interesting, you describe some form of Recrystallization if I am not mistaken? I would like to know more :D

[@gplustree]

having just watched a 40-minute film from 1943 on how quartz crystal components were made by sawing up naturally mined crystals, I was wondering if production had moved on to synthesizing the crystals in the ensuing 80 years. looks like it has.

[@storno]

me too

[@kaptainkaos1202]

Oh my gosh! I think I just watched the same one. They were putting the quartz in oil bathes and polarized light to find how to cut them.

[@peterwilson7532]

Yes it was a great war video. We are all being recommended the same films. It is a much simpler process to purify the natural quartz into man-made than I thought it would be. I have done a similar process with Copper Sulphate that had some Calcium salt, drying agent added to it. I had to make a hot, super saturated solution that dissolved everything, then slowly cool with a "seed" present, to recrystallise the pure Copper Sulphate, it worked great.

[@ZoruaZorroark]

periscope films?

[@railgap]

Nobody has really beaten the Czochralski process AFAIK. Downside: it's slow.

[@aleksandersuur9475]

The trick to getting natural feed stock to dissolve and recrystallize on seed is to keep a temperature gradient in the autoclave. It's heated in the bottom, where the solu gets saturated, convection mixes it upwards where cooling supersaturates the solution and causes it to recrystallize onto seed, there is not enough impurities for solution to become saturated of them, so they stay in solution and don't crystallize out, or they never dissolve to begin with. In any case you end up with large pure single crystals after few months of cooking your autoclave.

[@kellycarver2500]

Like distilling water. The pure water goes out the top, and impurities stay.

[@christopherleubner6633]

You are right, however you want a subtle gradient so it produces a laminar flow over your seed crystal. The process for small crystals is a few weeks but special giant ones intended for polarization plates in large lasers took months to over a year, but one crystal yeilds lots of Brewster plates.❤

[@genericalfishtycoon3853]

What I'd like to know is some of the information regarding cost of production and sales, some idea of what one of those is worth by weighing it against the market needs. I have spent 7 minutes now and leave with more questions than answers.

[@JohnDH1977]

Judging by the blurred components on the circuit boards they showed, they probably have proprietary secrets they don't want shown. They did show how the crystals are grown with the animation. It just takes 6 months to do it. More time than they have to film an item like this. They probably can't open the furnace to show how the crystals look without ruining that batch. Not going to do that if it takes 6 months to grow a batch.

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

@@JohnDH1977 - and 6:18 it says the temperature is about 350 C. That seems too low for a furnace melting quartz. It says on Google - The crystallization temperatures of quartz, calculated from its titanium content 30 , are mainly in the range 700-600 °C for the late-magmatic quartz, with generally higher values at crystal cores, and mainly in the range 500-400 °C for the hydrothermal quartz. And another part says - How to make a quartz crystal? This is a product made by fusing Lasca and growing a seed quartz crystal under high temperature and high pressure condition (at 350˚C: and 1,000 atmospheric pressure in a container called synthetic crystal growing furnace (Autoclave) filled with alkaline solution. It usually requires 40 to 90 days to grow.

That is fascinating . That the quartz would be a vapor first to accumulate on the seed Cristal . And the uses for quartz crystals . Hmm 🤔. Um the word PRESSURE was used to make them vibrate . I can only assume you’re talking about electricity . The amount would be in micro amps . Um , wild quartz has kaotic structure of grain , I should think so Japan figured out how to organize the grain of these Cristals . That IS fascinating indeed . I did some rock masonry when I was young , so that’s how I know about it . Cutting rocks with hammer and wedges . To do that , you need to be very visually observant . That how jewelers cut diamonds . Natural diamonds are the hardest to cut because of the kaotic vain structure . Strike it wrong and the Cristal shatters .
