Pyrite, the English name Pyrite, comes from Greek and means "spark", because this mineral emits sparks when hit by hard objects such as steel. Because the surface of pyrite is yellow-brown, it has a strong metallic luster on the crystal surface or polished surface, and is often mistaken for gold, so it is also called [...]

The staurolite is a hydrous silicate mineral of aluminum and iron. It belongs to the monoclinic or pseudorhombic crystal system. The crystals are well developed and are short columnar. They usually have a cross with an angle of 90° or an X with an angle of 60°. Shape through the double crystal. The staurolite has [...]
Epidote is a kind of hydrous calcium aluminosilicate mineral with island structure. Because its composition often contains various trace elements such as manganese, magnesium, chromium, sodium and potassium, there are many kinds of similar substitutes, such as It is rich in manganese as monedrite, chromium is contained in chromium epidote, and calcium is replaced by [...]
The molybdenum lead mine, the English name Wulfenite, is named after the Austrian mineralogist Franz Wulfen (F.X.Wulfen, 1728-1805). Molybdenite, also called color molybdenum, is a lead molybdate mineral, belonging to the tetragonal crystal system, and the crystals are in the shape of tetragonal plates. It has grease luster to diamond luster, transparent to translucent, and [...]
Sodalite is a chlorine-containing sodium aluminosilicate mineral, sometimes containing potassium in its composition. It belongs to the sodalite group in mineralogy. In addition to sodalite, there are zoisite, both crystals. The structure is the same, but the additional anions are different, but the properties are very similar. Sodalite belongs to the equiaxed crystal system. The [...]

Actinolite is a chain-like silicate mineral of magnesium, iron, calcium, sodium and aluminum containing hydrogen and oxygen. It is a kind of minerals in the hornblende group and has a similar relationship with Tremolite. . It has two variants. One is that actinolite and tremolite form a cryptocrystalline, tough and dense mass called nephrite; the [...]
Jadeite is a commercial name. In fact, it is a kind of rock composed mainly of jadeite. The main component of jadeite is sodium aluminosilicate, which belongs to the monoclinic crystal system. Single crystals are rare, usually granular or fibrous microcrystalline compact aggregates, with glass luster to grease luster, transparent to opaque, and hardness of [...]
Cinnabar, also known as cinnabar or cinnabar, is a kind of sulfide mineral and belongs to the trigonal crystal system. The crystals are in the form of small rhombohedrons, thick plates, and columnars. They are commonly seen in multiple dense grains, dense blocks or crust-like aggregates. Diamond luster, transparent to opaque, hardness of 2-2.5. Its [...]
Perspective stone, also known as green copper mine, English name is Dioptase, derived from Greek, Dia means "transparent", Optasia means "see", indicating that this mineral can see its cleavage surface through the crystal, so It is called a perspective stone. See-through stone is a kind of water-containing copper silicate, belonging to the trigonal crystal system, [...]
