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. O […]

Actinolite is a chain-like silicate mineral of magnesium, ferro, 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; o […]
Jadeite is a commercial name. Na verdade, 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 “transparente”, Optasia means “ver”, 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, […]
White lead ore, the English name Cerussite, is derived from the Latin Cerussa, o que significa “white lead”. White lead is a kind of carbonate mineral. Its composition often contains a mixture of particles of lead sulfide and silver sulfide: it belongs to the orthorhombic crystal system, and the crystals are in the shape of plate, […]
Azurite, whose English name is Azurite, comes from the word Azure, o que significa “azul”. Azurite is also called azurite in China, which is the name of a blue pigment. Azurite is a water-containing copper carbonate mineral and belongs to the monoclinic crystal system. The crystals are in the form of short column, column or thick […]
Fish eye stone, the English name Apophyllite, is derived from the Greek words Apos and Phyllazein, meaning “deciduous”, because this mineral will flake off when heated in a blowpipe flame, so it is intended. Cichlid is a mineral of the zeolite group. It is a kind of potassium calcium silicate mineral containing crystal water combined […]
Both anatase and brookite belong to the oxide minerals of titanium, which are two homogenous and polymorphic variants of rutile minerals. Anatase is a very rare mineral. Its composition often contains impurities such as ferric oxide and tantalum, niobium, tin, and manganese. It belongs to the tetragonal crystal system. Transparent to opaque, hardness is 5.5-6.0. […]
Realgar, also known as cockscomb stone, the English name is Realgar; orpiment, the English name is Orpiment or Auripigment, are two minerals that often coexist, commonly known as “mandarin duck minerals.” Realgar is a short columnar crystal, a wedge-shaped pointed head, and a rhombus cross-section. It is also common in dense massive and granular aggregates, […]
