...Ingrid N. Kigai Abstract Practically all aspects of agate genesis generate debate. The time is ripe to clarify the most important enigmas concerning the environments of formation of agates and the related famous amethyst geodes of Brazil and Uruguay. Agates form over a wide range of temperatures...

... on these materials is reviewed. The last section examines quartz varieties: hyaline quartz (rock crystal), milky quartz, smoky quartz, rose and pink quartz, amethyst, citrine, prasiolite and blue quartz. An exhaustive mineralogical discussion on quartz is beyond the scope of this review; conversely a review...

... in paragenesis with other Bi sulfosalts, chalcopyrite and hematite. Members of the pavonite homologous series are associated with bismuthinite derivatives and quartz of the amethyst variety. Three members of the cuprobismutite homologous series and four members of the pavonite homologous series have been found...

...) and Artigas (Uruguay) were combined with flow-by-flow field studies of structures and scintillometric profiles to establish a consistent regional stratigraphic framework over at least 100 km. This greatly improves exploration capability for amethyst and agate geodes. A basalt, colada Mata Olho (Alegrete...

... spectrum provide a test for synthetic amethyst. A band at 3595 cm -1 is present in the infrared spectrum of all natural amethysts but only rarely in synthetic ones. If present in synthetic amethyst, its full width at half maximum (FWHM) is about 7 cm -1 , whereas it is about 3 cm -1 in all natural...

...K. H. Yang; S. H. Yun; J. D. Lee Abstract The Eonyang amethyst deposit is thought to be spatially and temporally associated with the biotite granite of the Cretaceous Kyongsang Basin, South Korea. The euhedral quartz crystals in cavities in the aplite which intrudes biotite granite are colour-zoned...

... the trapped-hole centers on oxygens adjoining substitutional Al 3+ sites as they are formed thus preventing the appearance of smoky color. The resulting amethyst color is due to an absorption band related to the Fe 4+ produced. Since Fe 3+ only predominates over Fe 2+ in natural quartz formed under shallow...

...M. S. Joshi; P. N. Kotru; M. A. Ittyachen Abstract Triangular etch pits on rhombohedral surfaces due to hydrothermal etching are reported. Our experiments show that the hydrothermal etch pits on rhombohedral surfaces of amethyst have the same dislocation origin they have for quartz. We demonstrate...

... termed unlikely or not considered (and cited) at all. As a result the proposed models partly contradict these results (coordination and site occupation of Fe 3+ and Fe 2+ ) and partly do not (at least in our view) represent physically meaningful pictures (proposed structures of amethyst color centers...
