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.

    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!

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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
