#Amethyst is a type of #quartz, crystalline #silicon dioxide (#SiO2), which contains inclusions of #iron on the #crystal.
This #MacroPhotograph of an amethyst specimen shows the seemingly-chaotic crystal growth.

A macro #photograph of the place where a purple #amethyst #crystal meets its #rock matrix.
Amethyst is a type of #quartz (#SiliconDioxide) that has been tinted purple by #inclusions of #iron or #IronOxide on the crystal.

A sample of #amethyst #crystal in a #MacroPhotograph. Amethyst is a form of #Quartz, (#SiliconDioxide) that is colored purple due to inclusions of other elements and compounds inside or on the crystal surface. #Mineral, #Photograph, #Photo, #Photograph.

A #macro #photograph of the surface of an #amethyst #crystal, showing the uneven structure.
Amethyst is a type of quartz colored purple, often by inclusions of iron in the #silicondioxide structure of quartz.

A #macro #photograph of an #amethyst #crystal merging into its #rock #matrix. The #deep #purple merges into a #yellow layer, a #white layer, and ending in #green rock. Amethyst is a kind of #quartz, which is crystallized #SiliconDioxide #SiO2 that is colored purple by #IronOxide #inclusions in and on the crystal. This #dramatic change in color took place over an extremely long time.

A #macrophotography #photo of a bunch of small #carnelian #crystals in an #antique #glass #jam #jar. Carnelian is a form of #chalcedony colored by #IronOxide #inclusions, usually hydrous, and ranging from submicroscopic to microscopic in size.
Chalcedony itself is another form of #SiliconDioxide, #SiO2, in a #cryptocrystalline form. Its crystal structure is made of many small crystals whose structure is only visible under a microscope.
Despite have the same #ChemicalFormula, #Quartz and chalcedony look wildly different from each other.
What kinds of “#gems” await in places where #WaterIce is harder than rock?’
The jam jar is also SiO2 in a different state. How versatile is CO2? Can you keep jam in it?

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.
