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!
Great quick run down of quartz. I love them all and everything in between. I think most people don't realize how key quartz is to earth life and atmosphere. I dabble in many ways with quartz that few know about. Your family history is powerful key.
@@justathought-hj3lz Hey Jess, as long as your an actual person ........My geo keeps spam interested and accurate. Dabble might be a term of speech avoiding experts here. Web has phd mind set in wives tales usually. Geo away if you like.
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.
I like your content. Nice and clear and a decent production value, even in 2015 already. With a better microphone/ better acoustics it would be even better. 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.
Amazing video, its hard to find videos that explain things in a way that really touches on the science of different minerals in some actual depth thats still fun to learn from. I look forward to whatever other videos you have 👌
Thx for the video. So I have stones in my yard that aren't as pretty as those and have alot more imperfections in them but I do have redish and orange and brown and a white one . Are they all quarts?
One mistake in your video. Here in Maine we have a mineral locality that has in fact historically produced rose quartz crystals. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video.
As a kid i lived in an area rich with them. I would spend my recess time collecting all kinds of quartz. My favorite i called oreo. It was a hexagon smoky that was perfectly sectioned colorwise. The pointy end sections solid black and the middle was white. Lost my collection when my house burned down. 😞
Your humor is grossly underestimated. I get the same response when the grocery cashier asks if I found everything ok and I say no...I find rocks equally as amusing when others do not. Joke's on them I guess.
This video mostly talks about different kinds of quartz that are based on color. There should be more discussions of the properties and features of quartz that are tested, measured, and observed for identifying minerals.
I think you may have translucent and transparent mixed up. Transparent means that things can be seen clearly through it, while translucent mean that light can pass through it, but not clearly enough for things on the other side to be plainly visible.
+Everything Nature you ever look in Myrtle Beach Sc after pumping sand on beach?. had buckets full of elephant - horse teeth to wood . now it hard to find good specimens love videos
Very good video, you are a gem 🙂 I was wondering if you could tell me how to find quartz. We own 40 acres in Arkansas and I'm curious to see if we have any on the property. Is there anything in particular I should look for on the surface that would indicate quartz below? Thank you for taking time to answer.
hi, hope it's ok if we use this you tube clip at my sons primary school. he has a HUGE collection which he has inherited from my mother; along with her love of aall things crystal, gem, mineral etc ( excuse my own ignorance, i just have the 'pretty' ones!) My sons year 2 class is doing geology and have asked him/us to bring a prsentation in.
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?
I just tried to reshape a piece of quartz that had water in it and made it ugly so then I tried to tumble it and it’s completely ruined now (wore down the weaker spots surrounding the water and cracked bad)
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.

My daughter loves your mineral videos!
thank you so much! i'm actually studying geology right now and i really needed the exact examples you have shown ! you are the best .
Love your dry sense of humor! Great info on Quartz! 😉😂

Well said
I enjoyed your presentation .I am new to mineral collecting , loving it! Your cute and funny too.Take care.
Never apologize for a pun. Especially one so down to earth. He, or she who laughs, lasts.
This video was exactly what I needed, subscribed!!! Thank you! 💖
Your vids are so simply delivered but also information rich. I learn something new in each one. Thank you.
Amazing video! Smokies are my favorite also. LOVE how you apologized for your amazing joke! Your personality is adorable. Keep up the good videos.

Can you do more on quartz? I am interested especially in green auartz.

Love your vids, are fun too watch!
Love your sense of humor! Thanks for the info.😉😂😊
She said something that wasn't true. It's very rare, but Rose Quartz DOES exist in a crystal form.
Nice, I found a big rock of quartz in my back yard it's pretty cool!
1:57 Oh the lovely life of tourmaline
Are you going to post anymore videos?
Great video darling.
I think you meant to say rose quartz is translucent and never transparent though rather than the other way round...
Can it be sells or not ?
How much it valued ?
How to & where to sell it ?
Can anyone answer my question
How would you get radiation underneath the earth? Do you mean thermal cooking by radiation? Infrared radiation?
Ive found a baby blue quartz with glod leaf layers in it plus a vain of solid white quartz with huge pink feldspar crystals in them
That was really informing, thank you so much for this valuable video.
Thx for the video. So I have stones in my yard that aren't as pretty as those and have alot more imperfections in them but I do have redish and orange and brown and a white one . Are they all quarts?
What about huge chunks of multicolored quartz ?
Loved it, thank you !
wow cool but where do they come from how do they get radiation?
From the nether

I loved the terminated Smokey and the amethyst at the end !
1:52 i sense some parallels going on at this moment
Frfr..... the brief pause
thanks for the info. maam
Wow loved this video i looooove quartz’s and I just got a citrine! :D but u forgot to talk about milky quartz and green quartz
One mistake in your video. Here in Maine we have a mineral locality that has in fact historically produced rose quartz crystals. Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed your video.
whens the next episode of numberquartz coming out???
Love you goofy sense of humor!😜😉🤣
Thanks :) Super helpful
So basicly, a year ago, I got rose quartz, and after sitting in the light, the rose red faded.
What was along jasper and tigers eye at 1:30? I didn't catch?
I didn't see any quartz anywhere on the overworld...
Wish i knew before my amethyst faded. Can I do anything to improve the colour?

@@everythingnature2380 I have citrine: how can I send u it video for assessment?
3:15 - you said right, that is what I perceived: citrine is formed at higher T than amethyst. Good stuff!
Yea then u have Amertrine which has both Ametyst and Citrine together in one sample
Thank you!!!
Suggestions on legit sources to find the quartz w/ liquid in it? Those are cool!
This is a gem content lol
Minerals forever locked in silica status
Excellent video!
as title is nice it solid true every thing is nature as u r beautiful same u r crystal beautiful and attractive carry on
Omg i got quartz its sorta clear yellow and i got a yellow quarts not see through* but some looks like gold
Good info! And you're funny. : )
Is Quartz the same as Impact Space Diamond?

do you have a video on druzy pyrite or rainbow pyrite
Quarts is silicon based
Me: but there’s 2 oxygen and 1 silicon
Finally an actual person... So fed up with text to speech channels.
Outstanding, thank you

No milky quartz?
Hello.
Love your videos! Thanks.
One comment,....there are rare specimens of crystalline rose quartz.

I’m a newbie in the rock game so thank you for the video I’m trying learn as much as I can 😀👍🏻
Cheers for the info
i had this quartz like but its not reflecting its not magnetic but it has some quartz texture
I just tried to reshape a piece of quartz that had water in it and made it ugly so then I tried to tumble it and it’s completely ruined now (wore down the weaker spots surrounding the water and cracked bad)
good video, but im sorry to point out that you have the definitions of transparent and translucent reversed
I also say like a Diamond but Diamond is a Diamond so a 10 is a Diamond. Haha a bit of tongue twister. *Great video*
thank you
Great comedy relief!i! 😂
Actually rose quartz will show terminations, but very very rarely. But it does happen. For sure.
The jelly stone.
Amazing video!!!
Now I know why people keep pet rocks.
Nice job
what is the difference between daimond and quartz?
Diamond is basically Carbon.
I think you mixed up transparent and translucent.
I have a question: Volcanic glass is a variarity of quartz? (Such as obsidians or just amorphous glass?)
I found pieces of quartz with rainbows in them.
I’m high I’m trying to figure out how I use it to take dabs
Wot Cristal glows in dark from in it not light reflecting ? A greeny yellow!
So what would be that beauty at the end of the video? Amethyst and citrine or Amethyst turning citrine?? Hopefully someone can please explain.??

do they come from space or do they come from the Earth's crust?
They come from...rocks.
actually rose quartz can come in crystals
It can sometimes.
Right on!!!!
Thank you!
Floating bubbles..natures natural level..
Well from what I know about quartz' is that they're lying diamonds that make everything corrupted
Steven we can all rethink how we feel about rose 🌹
That's actually really true!!!I watch the actual channel and I am a big fan!!!!!!
Deserves a little more acretiation?
I have one like that but I don't know it's name
love this
You are great!
Nice it’s good to listen to a female voice for a change . Make more videos.....Paul
