calcite
Calcite chemical formula for CaCO, is the most widely distributed carbonate minerals in nature, belongs to the trigonal system (rhombohedral system), because the crystal is often a rhombohedral (rhombohedral) morphology and named. Its English name "Calcite" is derived from the Latin "calx" (meaning lime), which is the main component of limestone and marble.
pentagonal dodecahedral pyrite crystal
Pyrite chemical formula for FeS, is the most common representative of sulfide minerals, because the surface is often metallic luster and easy to oxidize "fool's gold" (Fool's Gold) misnomer. Pyrite is one of the most representative crystal forms, which belongs to the icosahedron family of cubic crystal system. It is composed of 12 pentagonal faces (each face is a regular pentagon), and the vertices connect 5 faces. The overall structure of the dodecahedron (similar to the simplified version of the "truncated icosahedron" of football).
brown pyroclastic with porphyrite
Pyroclastic is a porous, light pyroclastic rock formed by rapid cooling after the eruption of basaltic magma. Black, dark gray or brown (depending on the degree of oxidation). Rich in pores (bubbles), loose texture, low density. Basalt, containing pyroxene, plagioclase and other dark minerals.
Types of Garnet Minerals
This model summarizes the types of garnet group minerals, in which the aluminum garnet is usually red, and the calcium member is usually green. General formula: X, Y (SiO)
X² = Mg², Ca², Fe², Mn², etc.
Y³ = Al³, Fe³, Cr³, V³, etc.
PyrAlSpites: aluminum garnet (Pyrope, Almandine, Spessartine) aluminum at the Y³. UGrAndites: Calcium at the X² locus of calcium garnet.
Weinsberg granite
Weinsberg granite is a type of granite named after the Weinsberg region in Germany. Usually appears gray or light pink with small black spots. Widely used in architecture and decoration, such as flooring, countertops, and monuments. It has a long history of use in architecture and sculpture, and is favored for its beauty and durability.
serpentine
Serpentine is a general term for a type of magnesium rich silicate mineral that contains water, such as serpentine, serpentine, and fibrous serpentine. Their color is usually green, but there are also shades of green, light gray, white, or yellow. Serpentine stones are named because they are often green and green in color, resembling snake skin. Serpentine rocks are often distributed at the top of larger ultrabasic rocks in a cap like or edge like manner, and sometimes in a vein like or irregular shape. Smaller rock masses often completely erode into serpentinite. The minerals related to serpentinite include chromium, nickel, cobalt, platinum, asbestos, talc, magnesite, etc. Serpentine rock is also a good fertilizer ingredient.
marble
Marble originally refers to white limestone with black patterns produced in Dali, Yunnan Province. Its cross-section can form a natural ink landscape painting. In ancient times, marble with formed patterns was often selected to make painting screens or inlaid paintings. Later on, the name marble gradually evolved to refer to limestone with various colors and patterns used as building decoration materials. White marble is generally called White Marble, but it is also called marble for the white marble used to make statues in the West. There is a saying about the name of marble - in the past, Dali in China had the best quality marble. Named after it.
Quartz crystal coated with chalcedony
Usually refers to the phenomenon where the surface or interior of a quartz crystal contains a layer of chalcedony. It is a microcrystalline quartz, a variant of quartz, characterized by a waxy luster and a semi transparent appearance. Highly popular in gemology and mineralogy due to its unique appearance and aesthetic appeal. It usually has a sharp hexagonal columnar shape, while the jadeite layer may appear in different colors such as blue, green, red, or yellow, which are usually determined by trace impurity elements. Not only does it have scientific research value, but it is also favored among collectors and jewelry designers due to its unique aesthetic features. Can be cut and polished, used as decorations or artworks
