Wulfenite crystals were originally called melinose, from the Greek word meli denoting honey, because of their ... specimens with a white crystalline calcite matrix that are highly sought after ...

The smell of dew on dry grass and a whiff of honey wafts through the air ... Their hope of finding rubies there was short-lived when the red crystals found in the Hale River’s bed turned out to be ...

In Luc Yen, rough spinel crystals occur in dolomitic marble with calcite, phlogopite ... forms in groups of crystals and usually has a honey to dark yellow color (figure 9). Their size varies from 1 × ...

I never thought I'd stoop so low as to cook crystals in the oven... HAHA! Just kidding, this is just a way to get these calcite crystals looking GOOD! These are the calcite crystals I found in my most ...

I LOVE unexpected finds! I went out searching for 40 million year old fossil sea urchins and sand dollars, and I ended up ...

WE have applied optical interference methods to the examination of cleavage faces of a number of calcite crystals using both multiple-beam Fizeau fringes 1 and fringes of equal chromatic order 2 ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Since crystal orientation within rock fabric may be used to infer geologic settings, we present here a complementary Raman method to study the orientation of calcite (CaCO3) and dolomite [CaMg (CO3)(2 ...

From nanoscale friction measurements on smooth and rough calcite crystals, a set of parameters is analyzed to elucidate microscopic processes dictating RSF. We infer the influence of roughness on the ...
