The taboo of moonstone, do not bump and break, avoid dirt and color

Moonstone mainly has taboos such as collision, chemicals, unclean, high temperature, oil stain, etc., as follows: 1. Collision, avoid colliding with hard objects, and do not squeeze hard to avoid damage; 2. Chemicals, do not contact with perfume, shower gel, shampoo and other chemicals, otherwise it is easy to darken the luster.

Collision

Moonstone is a relatively precious gemstone, hard but also very brittle, it is best to wear it in normal times, try not to let it collide with items with high hardness, mainly wear carefully, handle it gently, so as not to affect the quality and value after damage.

Chemicals

The chemical characteristics of moonstone are not very stable, and it is necessary to pay attention to daily maintenance and cherishing at ordinary times, so that it can be prevented from contact with skin care products, cleaning liquid, shampoo, body soap and other chemicals as soon as possible, which can easily cause a certain degree of corrosiveness, and will also affect the overall quality and value.

Not clean

When wearing moonstone for a long time, it is also necessary to ensure the cleanliness of the surface layer from time to time, if the surface layer is very dirty, it needs to be wiped clean with a cotton cloth in time, so as not to cause the accumulation of dust, which may lead to dull luster, and when not worn, it should be properly kept.

High temperature

Moonstone is a kind of delicate gemstone, in the case of wearing, as far as possible to avoid its exposure to high temperature, can not be put in the strong light exposure, otherwise it is easy to lead to the loss of moisture in the internal structure, and even cracking, the gloss will become darker and darker.

Oil stain

And also try to avoid letting moonstone contact with oil, otherwise for a long time, it is easy to cause the material to be affected, so when entering and leaving the kitchen, it is appropriate to take it down first, so as not to affect the best wearing effect.

A Brief Introduction to Kyanite

Kyanite is a kind of natural refractory raw material mineral with high refractoriness and high temperature volume expansion.There are parallel stripes on the crystal face. Color is light blue or cyan, bright gray and so on.It is a high alumina mineral.

Chemical composition: Al2O3 63.1%, SiO2 36.9%.Single crystals are often long plates or blades parallel to (100).Naturally produced kyanite is often close to the ideal composition.Its strong resistance to chemical corrosion, thermal shock mechanical strength, thermal expansion irreversible.It is the main raw material for the production of amorphous material, electric furnace top brick, phosphate unfired brick, mullite brick and low creep brick.It is also a metamorphic mineral, occurring mainly in regional metamorphic crystalline schists, whose metamorphic facies range from greenschist facies to amphibolite facies.Also commonly used as diamond ring face, bracelet, necklace.Switzerland and Austria are famous producing areas.

Mineral deposit profile

The English name kyanite, derived from the Greek kyanos, refers to the most common color of kyanite.It is an insular silicate mineral, composed of Al2[SIO4]O. And andalusite, silanite homogeneity.Belongs to the triclinic crystal system, the crystal is flat strip, often columnar crystal shape, visible double crystal.Sometimes they form radial aggregates.The colors are blue, bluish white, cyan.With {100} complete and {010} moderate cleavage.Hardness has obvious anisotropy, so it is also known as two hard stone.The Mohs hardness is 4.5 in parallel crystal elongation direction, 6 in vertical direction, and the specific gravity is 3.53 ~ 3.65.The 435nm and 445nm absorption bands are visible.Regional metamorphic products occurring in crystalline schist and gneiss.When heated to 1300℃, kyanite into mullite, is a senior refractory material.Aluminum can also be extracted.

A bright transparent crystal used as a precious stone, preferably dark blue.North Carolina has a deep blue, green gem cyanite. Crystals can be ground into faceted gems or beads, but are difficult to polish and polish.

The main components of kyanite minerals are kyanite and a small amount of sillimanite, the accessory mineral components are quartz, and the secondary minerals are biotite, gold mica and chlorite.

The theoretical composition of kyanite is 62.93% and 37.07%. Because the cyanite mineral crystal often contains a small amount of accessory mineral components, so under normal circumstances the content is not up to the theoretical value.For the concentrate of kyanite mineral, its content is the sum of kyanite and impurity minerals.

Kyanite is one of the typical regional metamorphic minerals, mostly from argillaceous rock metamorphism.It is mainly formed under high pressure of intermediate metamorphism.It exists in regional metamorphic schist and gneiss and related crystalline granite and quartz dikes.Associated with garnet, crossstone, mica and quartz.

Place of origin

California, Iowa, Georgia;Canada, Ireland, France, Italy, Switzerland, India, Brazil, North Korea, Australia, etc.

Since the 1940s, when China began to investigate kyanite minerals, especially from the late 1970s to the early 1980s, a great deal of survey and exploration work has been carried out, and more than 20 kyanite mines have been discovered, distributed in over a dozen provinces and regions.Major ore deposits are distributed in Shuyang, Jiangsu Province; Yinshan, Henan Province; Xingtai, Hebei Province; Dianbusmiao, Inner Mongolia Province; Bulagai, Xinjiang Province; Fanzhi, Shanxi Province; Yuexi and Huoshan, Anhui Province; Dacaogou, Liaoning Province; Wenchuan, Sichuan Province; Hot Water Pond, Yunnan Province; Shansi, Jilin Province; Tanghekou, Yang County, Shaanxi Province.

Brief Introduction of Amethyst

Amethyst, derived from the Greek word, meaning“ easily broken”chemically composed of SiO2.

Tripartite crystal system, the crystal is hexagonal column, the column surface is horizontal, there are left and right shapes, double crystals are very common. Hardness 7. Crystals often contain irregular or pinnate gas-liquid two-phase inclutions. Is the most expensive member in the crystal family, because the crystal crystal contains Mn and Fe3 and appears purple. It is transparent and has obvious polychromaticity when observed under dichroic lens.

Physical properties

The color of amethyst has long been considered to be caused by the mixing of high-valent iron or manganese, titanium and other pigment elements; but when heated to 240~270 ℃, the purple disappears and becomes yellowish brown and brown; and it can be irradiated by roentgen rays. The original purple can be restored, so some people think that it is an optical phenomenon caused by a certain defect in the internal atomic arrangement. Amethyst is in China, the five elements are wood, and the Xiluan array is purified. Synthetic amethyst, its color is uniform, does not contain gas-liquid inclusion; natural amethyst color distribution is uneven, irregular flake spread, and often contains gas-liquid inclusion. Amethytes are mainly formed in hydrothermal veins under lower temperature and pressure conditions.

Origin

Amethyst is widely distributed all over the world, and the following areas are the main producing areas.

Uruguay

The amethyst produced in Uruguay has always been the most advanced color of purple in amethyst. This purple is very deep, very delicate and charming, with a burgundy“fire”. Close to discontinuation, it is a must-have item in high-end jewelry stores around the world.

South Korea

The color is also very deep, but the main color is somewhat“blue-purple”. This is also a kind of delicate and pleasing color. Unfortunately, the output is also getting less and less.

Zambia

Zambian amethyst usually has small particles and few clarity, but the tone is strange, with a beautiful red tone in purple. It will not be black even when worn from a distance, so it is of high value, but unfortunately the output is not large.

Brazil

Brazilian amethyst produces the most. Generally speaking, the color is not the highest grade. Many halftones are either too light or slightly darker purple with black tones, but occasionally you will find good ones with delicate and charming colors. The vast majority of amethyst products on the market come from Brazil.

China

The producing areas of amethyst in China can be listed as follows: Shanxi amethyst has a history of mining for 100 years, mainly distributed in Wutai Mountain, Hengshan Mountain, Yanbei and Luliang Mountain. In Xinghe County, Inner Mongolia, crystals are produced in the quartz veins of the granite pegmatite veins, mainly smoke crystals, with a very small amount of amethyst; and Amethyst is also produced in Alaben and Guyang counties of Bayan Naoer League. Xinjiang amethyst is produced on the edge of the Tarim platform. Amethyst is mainly produced in granite and hydrothermal quartz veins. The amethyst in Yunnan is distributed in Shigu and central Yunnan in the southern section of Ailao Mountain, as well as Lijiang, Fengke, Mashidi, Honghe, Mulong River, Bimiao, Yuanyang Luojiazhai and other places, with large crystals and good quality. The amethyst production area in Henan is mainly distributed in Nanyang, and Xinyang and Zhumadian also have a small amount of output. In Shandong, the main producing area of amethyst is Dashuichang, Mazhan Township, Yishui.

Brief introduction of Pink Crystal（Rose Quartz）

Pink Crystal generally refers to Rose Quartz. Rose Quartz is a kind of quartz, which is loved by people because of its beautiful pink color. This pink color may be caused by titanium. The polished surface of Rose quartz can present a star-shaped light, which is because it contains fine needle-like rutile inclusions.

Major feature

Rose quartz can be called powder crystal, rose crystal and hibiscus stone. Hardness grade 7, specific gravity 2.65. Its chemical composition is mainly silicon dioxide, transparent or translucent. The fracture is shell-shaped and oily. Generally pink. Hibiscus stone is the best with rich color, pure texture, sufficient water head and no cotton wool. And those who are shallow in color, mixed in texture, with cotton, locks and stone tendons are all poor. Hibiscus stone, with even and translucent texture, can grind out clearer six pointed  starlight.

Origin and application

Rose Quartz can be made into necklaces, bracelets, rings and other ornaments, and can also be used for carving and making various exquisite handicrafts. Hibiscus stone is mainly produced in Brazil, and China is mainly produced in Xinjiang and Yunnan. But the quality of hibiscus stone produced in Brazil and Sri Lanka is the best.

Rose Quartz, also called love stone, is said to bring sweetness to couples. All hibiscus stones can be woven with knots with China characteristics, which is fashionable and one of the popular accessories worn by couples.

Texture identification

Among the kinds of jade, there is a kind of rose quartz which is as refreshing and bright as water hibiscus. It is a pale pink or dark rose block quartz crystal, also known as "hibiscus jade". Why is it called Rose quartz? Because the rose quartz is colored by containing trace elements of manganese and titanium, it can be cut and ground to produce "cat's eye" or "starlight" effect. And has high transparency, and can generate strong transmitted starlight. Cat's eye effect, also known as hibiscus stone cat's eye; Those with starlight effect are called starlight hibiscus stone. Hibiscus stone, also known as "Hibiscus jade", is oily and lustrous, and its color is warm and pleasant. The color of Rose quartz is very special, it is pink purple, which is extremely rare among jade. Because the color of Rose quartz is very strange, it can't be seen anywhere else, except in Shaanxi, so it is the representative jade of Shaanxi. High-quality rose quartz is not only dark and beautiful, but also completely transparent. In foreign countries, the high-quality rose quartz is produced in Brazil. Hibiscus stone requires that its pink is as deep as possible, transparent, crack-free and impurity-free, before it can be listed as high quality.

A Brief Introduction of Morganite

Morganite (Pink Beryl) is the“in-laws” of Emerald and Aquamarine, but its popularity in China is not as good as that of the latter two, and there is a feeling of "being in a boudoir" among the beryl family. The colors of Morganite are orange red and purple red, which are extremely delicate and charming. Its name comes from the name of John Pierpont Morgan, a famous American gem collector and banker. Morganite is so bright pink because it contains manganese.

Brief introduction of Morganite.

Mainly produced in pegmatite and greisen, the main producing areas are Brazil, the Italian island of Elba, Russia, Madagascar, the United States, India, Pakistan, Mozambique, Namibia and other places.

There are several large gem-grade pegmatite mines in Morganite, and beryl is also produced in Zimbabwe, Tanzania and Zambia in Africa.

Morganite is produced in many parts of the United States, California is a famous producing area, and the first Morganite is produced in California.

Morganite has been found in Xinjiang, Yunnan, Inner Mongolia, Hainan and Sichuan in China, among which Xinjiang and Yunnan have the best quality.

Morganite's optimization treatment.

There are two common optimization methods in Morganite: heat treatment and irradiation treatment.

Heat treatment can change color through heat treatment, such as green-blue to blue, light blue to deep sky blue, yellow-green to blue, orange-yellow to pink, etc. These treatments are usually carried out at 400-450℃, and the results are stable, which belongs to the optimization type and need not be specified.

Irradiation treatment is a common treatment method of beryl, which can make colorless beryl turn yellow, green to blue, pink to orange and so on. The most famous is Maxixe blue beryl irradiated by γ-rays. Its color is cobalt blue, which is unstable and will fade when exposed to heat or sunlight. The dichroism of Maxixe blue beryl is different from that of aquamarine, which is blue in the normal light direction and colorless in the extraordinary light direction, whereas aquamarine, on the contrary, shows blue in the extraordinary light direction. The absorption spectrum has two bands in the red region at 695 and 655nm, accompanied by weaker bands in the orange, yellow and yellow-green regions at 628, 615, 581 and 550nm.

This kind of glass meteorite from outer space is more valuable than diamonds!

The earth runs in the universe, so it is bound to meet the broken stars in the universe and hit the earth. This alien stone is the later "meteorite". Meteorites are also different. The following small series is about a kind of glass meteorite, and its value is not generally good. Let's take a look!

Darwin, a British biologist, obtained a button-shaped glassy stone in Australia in 1844, and later this similar glassy stone was called "glass meteorite" all over the world. It is a natural glass substance. Because it looks like obsidian, it is also called obsidian.

Because of the particularity of its source, meteorites have become treasures with great collection value on a par with stamps, jewelry, calligraphy and painting, coins and so on. meteorite

In the global price, the price of glass meteorites is now comparable to that of diamonds, and the meteorite mountain grazing began to slowly transform into a "game for the rich." At present, the meteorite collection and trading market in developed countries such as Europe and America is very mature, and some rich people like to hide meteorites as a symbol of their status.

"Glass meteorite" is extremely precious, and its price has been rising all the way. It has become the most expensive stone and diamond in the ancient Yuan collection market, and the precious glass meteorite has exceeded $850 per gram. Glass meteorites can remain basically unchanged for billions of years. Researchers can learn more about the early universe by studying these meteorites, which are of great scientific research value. Some developed countries are vying for it, forming the current situation of glass meteorites soaring, which is really a stone of gold.

Glass meteorites, known as "alien rocks", are rare and precious, and are rare among many 6 kinds of meteorites. Researchers can learn more about the early universe by studying these meteorites, which is of great scientific value. The distribution of glass meteorites on the earth is completely different from other meteorites. Glass meteorites have a certain falling area on the earth, and each falling area represents a celestial falling event. The glass meteorites in the falling area are the same falling event.

It can be seen that the glass meteorite is not only a kind of natural glass, but also has great research value besides its ornamental value and rarity!

The appraisal, efficacy and market situation of Aquamarine

Appreciation and evaluation of Aquamarine

Compared with the blue topaz, although both have fire color and beautiful blue, the interior and fire color of topaz have some black, and its color is not as good as that of Xinjiang origin

Xinjiang aquamarine has a better color than other sapphires. The sapphire has a strong glass luster, and its hardness of 9 is much higher than that of aquamarine. Therefore, the two are relatively easy to distinguish. People can also distinguish the good from the bad by weighing. Topaz is characterized by its high density and heavy feeling in hand. If the two bracelets are Xinjiang aquamarine and other aquamarine bracelets, the quality difference is obvious. At the same time, consumers can also judge the quality of the gem by its price. If the color of sapphire is good, it is a high-quality aquamarine.

The efficacy of Aquamarine

Westerners generally believe that wearing aquamarine can make people have foresight.

Aquamarine corresponds to the throat of the human body and is said to improve the respiratory system.

It can enhance expression and persuasion, but the most powerful gemstone can only play a guiding and auxiliary role in long-term wear.

Containing the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, it is the most effective gem with powerful treatment, purification and communication power.

Market situation of Aquamarine

Things are rare and precious. From the perspective of long-term investment, aquamarine is also very valuable for collection. As early as the beginning of the 20th century, Brazil once found the largest aquamarine crystal in history, 19 inches long, 16 inches wide, and 243 pounds in weight, with blue inside and green outside, clear and transparent. After the news spread, people from all over the world flocked to buy it, and finally it was bought by a German businessman at a sky-high price of 100000 marks. Think about the 100000 marks at the beginning of the 20th century, and what kind of astronomical figure it should be today. The high value of premium aquamarine can be seen. In China, the collection value of aquamarine can not be underestimated. For example, on July 9, 2009, a famous jewelry store in Guangzhou once auctioned an aquamarine of about 114.5 carats, with a starting price of 500000 yuan. However, the truly collectible aquamarine is generally large in size. Only large enough ones can show the color of aquamarine and have a high appreciation potential.

The Implication of Aquamarine and Related Legends

The Meaning of Aquamarine

Legend has it that sapphire from the sea bottom is the essence of sea water.So seafarers used it to pray to the sea God to protect the safety of navigation, called it the "blessing God stone".It is also known as the "March Birthstone", symbolizing "composure and courage", "happiness and longevity".

Ancient people found that aquamarine was as blue as sea water, so they gave it the property of water, believing that this beautiful gem must come from the bottom of the sea and is the essence of sea water. Since then, aquamarine has an indissoluble bond with "water".Therefore, for people born in March, jewelry made of aquamarine can not only bring extraordinary beauty, but more importantly, it can bring shelter and happiness.

Related Legend of Aquamarine

According to legend, a group of mermaids live on the blue sea floor. They usually use aquamarine as their ornaments to dress themselves up. Once they encounter a critical moment, they can obtain mysterious powers to help themselves by simply letting the gems receive sunlight.

Both east and West regard water as the source of life, and March is the time when all living things on earth begin to become active, so aquamarine with "water" properties is defined as the birthstone of March, symbolising composure, courage and wisdom.It is widely believed in the West that wearing aquamarine makes one prescient.

Because of its close association with water, aquamarine has long been used as a talisman, especially by those who spend years at sea, where it is believed to capture the ocean's spirit.For centuries, aquamarine is regarded as a Mascot Stone, as sailors floating on the waves used it to pray to the god of the sea for the safety of navigation.In the movie Pirates of the Caribbean, if you look closely, you will see that the sailors wearing many fancy things, mostly wearing a blue gem around their necks, it is called aquamarine.

In addition to peace, aquamarine is also the "stone of love".In ancient Greek mythology, there was a wind god named Roland, who was handsome but lowly. Later, he fell in love with an earthly woman, which was not allowed by the divine world at that time. In order to be loyal to his love, he even gave his life.Before dying, Roland begs Venus, the goddess of love, to seal his soul in aquamarine as a birthstone for the March Nativity, to help people find their love.Therefore, people in Mediterranean countries like to wear aquamarine, so that they can have a sweet love and maintain a happy marriage.

In medieval Europe, artisans would cut aquamarine into thin slices as needed and fix them into the holes of certain tools so that aristocrats could see farther, probably the origin of the telescope.Aquamarines, which are pure and flawless in appearance, are often polished into mirrors, which some wizards insist can be used for divination.

As science has developed, people have lost faith in the idea that birthstones have protective powers and can bring good luck.However, the custom of wearing the birthstone will continue as a cultural deposit and a hope of beauty.

A Brief Introduction to Aquamarine

Aquamarine

Aeroides, Aquamarine is a kind of silicate containing beryllium, aluminum, together with garnet, tourmaline and other collectively known as colored gems.Aquamarine color is sky blue to sea blue or greenish blue, its color formation is mainly due to trace iron ions (Fe2+), with bright and flawless, brilliant brilliant blue to light blue for the best.

Beryl （davidsonite）is a beryllium-aluminosilicate mineral.Its several varieties vary in color, including light blue (called aquamarine), dark green (called emerald), golden yellow (called golden beryl), and pink (called cesium beryl) belonging to the hexagonal system.

Introduction of Aquamarine

Aquamarine is mainly produced in pegmatite deposits, sugar granular albionite pegmatite. The world's most famous aquamarine is produced in Minas Gerais, Brazil.This is followed by Russia, China and other regions.The common crystal form is hexagonal column, followed by hexagonal dipyramidal, aggregate more columnar output.Transparent to translucent.Refractive index 1.567-1.590, birefringence 0.005-0.007.Polychromic, blue to blue-green.X-ray irradiation does not emit light, toughness is good.

The quality of aquamarine is evaluated from color, clarity, cut and weight.Color pure, no gray, no dichroism, color thick bright value is the highest.Some aquamarines with directional inclusions can be processed into cat's eye or starlight effect, and those with special optical effects are more expensive.Aquamarine with the same color, clarity and cut, the higher the carat weight, the higher the value.

Classification of aquamarine

Aquamarine belongs to silicate crystals in mineralogy, and can take on different colors depending on the origin and formation conditions of the ore.Common ones are as follows:

(1) Chromium: its color is light to dark green, blue green, yellow green beryl is very precious emerald.

(2) Beryllium: sky blue or sea blue aquamarine.

(3) Cesium, lithium and manganese: rose red color, called cesium beryl (Morganite).

(4) The beryl containing iron and golden yellow, light lemon yellow is called golden beryl (Heliiedor).

(5) Beryl containing titanium and iron, Dark Brown, called Dark Brown Beryl.

(6) The colorless and transparent beryl is called Goshenite.

Are there Colored Obsidian among Obsidian species?

Obsidian species include colored obsidian. Colored obsidian is one of the most famous obsidian, which can also be called rainbow obsidian with flashing rainbow. Because of its rare output and beautiful appearance, the price of colored obsidian is very high, usually one gram of colored obsidian can reach tens of yuan. For this reason, some unscrupulous traders in the market will fake colored obsidian with inferior materials to make huge profits. Therefore, if you want to collect colored obsidian, it is particularly important to learn how to distinguish the authenticity of colored obsidian.

Colored obsidian is one of the best kinds of obsidian, with rainbow-like light and delicate texture. Because some stripes are oval colored obsidian, it is commonly known as monocular obsidian or binocular obsidian.

Colored obsidian is generally of good quality and can reflect yellow, purple or green light under strong light. Rainbow eyes are concentric circles, also called rainbow light. The rainbow eye is aimed at the round beads of colorful obsidian bracelets or gourds. The rainbow light is aimed at the carved pendants of colorful obsidian, such as Buddha and brave and brave.

If two opposite sides of the obsidian beads show a round light eye, it is called a double rainbow eye. The rounder and larger the rainbow eye of obsidian, the brighter the light, the better its quality and the higher the price; In addition, in the case of rainbow light, the brighter and more shiny the reflective, the higher its value, if it does not flash, it is ordinary rainbow light, which is relatively low in value. At present, there are many sellers on the market who hype all-purple or all-green rainbow eyes, and the price is much higher than the general double rainbow eyes, but whether the rainbow eyes are all-green or all-purple quality must be better than ordinary double rainbow eyes.

However, it should be noted that there are good and bad rainbow eyes, and not all the colorful obsidian with double rainbow eyes are of high quality. Some rainbow eyes show a mixture of green, yellow, purple, white and black light, which is a dead light, just like fish eyes, which will not flash in the light. This kind of colored obsidian is of poor quality and will not be very expensive.

The identification of the true and false color obsidian can be observed with the help of a strong flashlight, because the color of the color obsidian is not single and the color is not black.

Queen shellfish is a naturally formed shellfish creature, its lines are not very clear, and the organization is not very strong, but the fake queen shells make very clear and organized lines. True and false can be distinguished by gloss. The queen shell is placed on the bottom of the sea for a long time for immersion, so the surface of the queen shell will not be very smooth and delicate, on the contrary, there will be some potholes, while the fake queen shell has a delicate surface and strong luster.

The maintenance of the queen shell needs to do a good job in three aspects: 1. Do not wash with water, not only is it difficult to dry, but may also cause internal fermentation; 2. Keep away from oil, Queen Bay inhalation of oil will cause damage to quality; 3. Wipe with sheepskin, sheepskin will wipe the queen shell brighter and brighter, do not wipe with a paper towel, easy to cause wear.

Rhodonite's Related Knowledge Introduction

Characteristics of Rhodonite

Rhodonite belongs to the silicate pyroxene group, and the crystals are rare. Generally, it is dense to fine-grained, glassy, translucent to transparent, rosy, pink or brown, with black manganese oxide markings, with a specific gravity of 3.4-3.7 and a hardness of 5.5-6.5. The surface is easily oxidized to manganese dioxide, reddish to yellowish, and does not react under ultraviolet rays. According to the analysis of the ore samples collected in Hualien area, the red part contains about 33% manganese and the black part contains about 31% manganese, and the surface part is easy to exchange with iron and calcium. Rhodo is derived from the Greek word for rose.

Rhodonite is characterized by its unique rose red, obvious cleavage and high hardness. After weathering, the black oxidation is fierce, which is also one of the characteristics. The difference with rhodochrosite is that it has high hardness and does not foam when it meets acid.

Genesis and Occurrence of Rhodonite

Rhodonite can be formed by regional metamorphism of deposited manganese ore layer or contact metasomatism of rhodochrosite. It can also be formed in manganese deposits with hydrothermal metasomatism origin. Occasionally it is also produced in pegmatite. Occurs in metamorphic rocks or independent dikes and ore deposits, sometimes in iron ore and manganese deposits with pyrolusite, calcite, quartz and other symbiosis. Most of them are sandwiched in quartz schist, mixed with brown yellow and white manganese pyroxene, quartz and ferromanganese dolomite or rhomboxite.

Rhodonite is usually the product of metamorphism, which is found in rocks containing manganese that have undergone regional metamorphism or contact metasomatism. Symbiosis with calcium rhodonite, rhodochrosite and garnet. Sometimes it is found in pegmatite and hydrothermal deposits, and coexists with other manganese minerals and sulfides as low-temperature minerals. Under supergene conditions, rhodonite is easily oxidized into pyrolusite and rhodochrosite. Hydration results in the formation of hydrorhodonite, silicomanganese or manganese-bearing serpentine.

Rhodochrosite is easily confused with rhodonite in rhodonite. Rhodonite belongs to carbonate, and the birefringence can be seen in refractometer. The refractive index value is 1.60-1.80, and the shadow boundary at 1.60 is its typical feature.

Rhodonite in nature can exist in two forms: single crystal and aggregate. Among them, the rare single crystals are usually translucent to opaque, and the colors are pink, red, light maroon or pink orange. Rhododendron has typical cleavage, and most of the rhodochrosite seen in the market is aggregate, opaque, with pink and white stripes like agate, showing the so-called "lace structure"

Rhodonite does not have typical stripes, but has a characteristic translucent to opaque pink, red, or brownish red to purplish red appearance, with some black spots or textures on the surface, which is an oxide of manganese. The hardness of rhodonite is higher than that of rhodochrosite (although both hardness are not very high), so it can present good polishing. There are also transparent single crystal rhodonite in nature, but there are not many, and because there are two groups of perfect cleavage, rhodonite with intact crystal faces is even more rare.

The refractive index of rhodonite is usually 1.73-1.74. Sometimes, due to the influence of quartz impurities, the refractive index value of 1.54 will be read at a certain moment. If this happens, you can change a facet and measure it again.

The toughness and chemical stability of rhodochrosite and rhodonite are not very good, so they should be carefully protected.

A Brief Introduction to Golden Lepidolite

Golden Lepidolite, a kind of mica minerals, is mostly formed in magnesium-rich minerals.

It has a strong healing vibration magnetic field, and has the effect of promoting the development of the rational body and gathering wealth.

Each face has beautiful big eyes, and it flows with perfect luster like glass when it rotates, and shines gently and generously in the sun.

Golden Lepidolite

Golden Lepidolite, a rare energy stone, is matched with Arusha, which is busy, but the result may be delayed or longer, but it is also an accumulation of experience. With this phlogopite, it is easy to contribute to the result.

Another introduction is that ~ in addition to making money, it arrives at the account. It can help people heal the heart chakra, nourish the dry heart, slowly rescue people from their mistakes in past love, cherish themselves again and open up new love opportunities.

The implication of Golden Lepidolite

The moral of Golden Lepidolite: treating emotional trauma and encouraging the expression of desire.

Lepidolite was rare in the past, and it was not until nearly ten years that it became relatively easy to obtain. It is sometimes a large round bundle-like aggregate or a small flat block, but the most common one is pink-purple microcrystalline rubble, and its surface shines after being illuminated. Lepidolite is a subspecies of mica, which is colored by lithium contained in it. It is used as a thermal insulation material in industry and used to protect the heart from damage in spar therapy. Lepidolite is usually associated with pink tourmaline, which gives soft lepidolite more strength, and enables it to treat emotional trauma and encourage the expression of desire.
