Cristobalite in manganese oxide-chromia-silica

Inclusion formula: SiO2 Inclusion type (Macro/Micro/Nano): Macro Inclusion type (Exogenous/Indigenous): Indigenous Inclusion classification: Oxide Inclusion composition in weight %: C-Cristobalite with 98% SiO2, traces of Cr and Mn, M-Matrix with 14% MnO, 31% SiO2, 57% Cr2O3. Mean analysis (calc.) 13% MnO, 22% SiO3, 54% Cr2O3. Sample: Ferrochromium suraffine Steel composition in weight %: 73% Cr, 0.03% C, 0.09% Si, balance is Fe. Note: This inclusion in situ in ferrochromium is similar in appearance to the isolated inclusion from a caron steel shown in the inclusion No. 9. The matrix in this particle has, however, a large chromina content and is composed of a two phases. It was not possible to carry out a separate analysis of each of the two phases because of the limited resolution of the electron probe analyser.

🍇🌵🍇#BestOfTucson . Now that Tucson 2020 is Officially Over, we’ll be Celebrating the World Famous Event with a Best of Series to Showcase Some of Tucson’s Finest! . What Better Way to Kickoff the Series than with a Mineral Most People have Never Heard of, “Cristobalite”! . Cristobalite is a “Mineral Polymorph of Silica that is Formed at Very High Temperatures. It has the same chemical formula as quartz, SiO₂, but has a Distinct Crystal Structure. It’s Commonly used in Dentistry but in this Video can be Seen as Golden Doughnut Like Inclusions in the Amethyst Crystals! . I have Seen these Inclusions Before but Never as Perfectly Displayed or in Such a Large Specimen as this 1,200 pound Amethyst Geode from Brazil! . It’s Difficult to Describe what the Inclusions Actually Look Like in Person. They are Doughnut Shaped Fluffy Needle Like Inclusions with Rich Golden Color! . The Contrast of Brilliant Gold and Deep Purple Color is Something no Video will Ever do Justice to and out of ALL the Museum Quality Pieces I Saw, this was One of my Personal Favorites! .

Cristobalite is a silica polymorph that is thermodynamically stable only at temperatures above 1470°C, up to the melting point at 1705°C, at atmospheric pressures. It commonly metastably persists or even forms at much lower temperatures in silica-rich volcanic and sedimentary environments. It can form crystals in cavities, probably vapour-deposited, or spherulites in obsidian or other silicic volcanics.

Hematite is rather variable in its appearance - it can be in reddish brown, ocherous masses, dark silvery-grey scaled masses, silvery-grey to black crystals, and dark-grey masses, to name a few. What they all have in common is a rust-red streak.
