Common crystal varieties in the market:

Monochrome crystal: white crystal, pink crystal, amethyst, citrine, tea crystal, red crystal, etc. (this kind of crystal will have color differences according to the quality of the crystal, which naturally affects the price).

Hair crystals: including blonde hair, silver hair, black hair, red hair, green hair, color hair, etc. (such crystals show hair-like crystal crystals inside, which belong to higher-priced crystals).

Moss Crystal: A triangular mist shadow or moss-shaped crystal (also a crystal with a higher price point), such as a green ghost.

Other gemstones: tourmaline, aquamarine, obsidian, peridot, agate, garnet, lapis lazuli, malachite, ophalmic, fluorite, etc. (This kind of spar jewelry does not belong to the quartz category from a mineralogical point of view, but because of the wide variety in the market, ** and crystal jewelry is close, so it is also classified as crystal jewelry by merchants).

Of course, each crystal has its own characteristics and meanings, and it will also be divided into ordinary grade and gem grade because of the quality of its own "species". Hopefully, you can find the perfect crystal for you!

What are the types of crystals?

Inclusions crystal: The crystal crystal contains many needle-like, irregularly oriented minerals, just like straight hair, these "hairs" are prismatic rutile, although small, but clearly visible, the form is very beautiful, is the hair crystal.

Ghost Crystal: The spiritual water product is also called the vision water product, the phantom water product, which refers to the water product in the process of growth wrapped in different colors of volcanic ash and other substances, in the transparent water product formed clouds, aquatic plants, whirlpools or mille-feuille, pyramid-shaped visions. Inclusions are dominated by chlorite, but also contain other minerals.

According to the different colors of the inclusions, ghost crystals can be divided into green ghosts, red spirits, yellow ghosts, white ghosts, etc.

Hair crystals: The crystal clear water contains many needle-shaped, irregularly directional guessing minerals, just like straight hair, these "hairs" are prismatic rutile, although small, but clearly visible, the form is very beautiful, is hair crystals.

Strawberry crystal: The appearance of strawberry products is more like the color of strawberries, and the natural sediment of the spike calendar is like the seeds on the strawberry, and the strawberry product is also named after the sedan calendar. Common red strawberry water products, green strawberry water products.

Rabbit hair crystal: It is a kind of hair product, named because it contains hair-like hair-like things in its body, and it is common to have red rabbit hair, yellow rabbit hair, and blue rabbit hair. Among them, the hairs inside the red hair-free water product are rutile, which is often called "Venus crystal".

Aurora 23 Crystal:

It is said to be the earliest type of water that has been discovered, and it has been formed for more than 100 million years. The reason why Aurora 23 is called 23 is because this water contains 23 kinds of minerals, and it is also a very small number of water products that contain ** and platinum, so its specific gravity is also heavier than other crystals.

Starlight Pink Crystal:

There is no stone grain, it has a warm pink luster, and three straight lines can be seen intersecting in the center to form six distinct rays of light under a single light source.

Quartz cat's eye: When the water contains a large number of fibrous inclusions arranged in parallel (such as asbestos fibers), the surface of the curved gemstone can show a cat's eye effect, which is called quartz cat's eye.

Rainbow Crystal: The rainbow represents perfection. There are 2 reasons why rainbows appear in water:

1.Water products are subjected to significant stress (from changes in the earth's crust) during growth, and cracks appear inside, forming a special refraction of light, resulting in rainbows.

2.When the energy accumulates within the crystal to the extreme, it forms a rainbow-like brilliance.

Crystals are mainly divided into three categories: explicit crystals, cryptocrystals, and special crystals.

Rock crystal is a rare mineral, a type of gemstone, a quartz crystal, which belongs to the quartz family in mineralogy. The main chemical component is silicon dioxide with the chemical formula SiO2. When pure, colorless and transparent crystals are formed.

When it contains trace elements such as AL and Fe, it is pink, purple, yellow, brown, etc.

Crystals

Rock crystal is a quartz crystalline mineral, its main chemical component is silicon dioxide, and the chemical formula is SiO2. Western countries believe that as long as it is transparent, it is crystal, so the word crystal includes colorless transparent glass (K9 class, ordinary glass blue), and also includes natural crystal ore.

The ancient Chinese crystal names are more than 10 kinds of names, such as water spirit, water blue, water jade, spar, etc., therefore, in order to make it easier to distinguish, the international usually (rockcrystal) to refer to natural crystal. A well-developed single crystal is a hexagonal cone, so it is usually a block or granular aggregate, generally colorless, gray, milky white, and purple, red, smoke, tea, etc. when containing other mineral elements.

When silica crystallizes perfectly, it is crystal; The crystallization is imperfect is quartz: silica is agate after gelatinization and dehydration; The aqueous colloids of silica become opal when solidified; When the silica grains are less than a few microns, chalcedony, flint, and secondary quartzite are formed.

5. Earth-based crystal: citrine, yellow ghost, yellow hair crystal, yellow tourmaline, yellow agate, yellow tiger's eye, topaz, etc.

Crystals can be divided into three categories:

1. Crystalline type.

Usually we see a cluster of crystals generated by a number of hexagonal crystal pillars (hexagonal crystal system), which belongs to crystalline varieties, such as white crystal, amethyst, citrine, pink quartz, hair crystal, tiger's eye, etc.

2. Aphrocrystals.

The appearance of cryptocrystalline crystals is piece-by-piece, not in a hexagonal crystal cluster, but they are also hexagonal crystal system. However, we cannot observe their hexagonal crystals with the naked eye, because the crystals are so small that they can only be seen with the help of a microscope. This type of crystal is very smooth because there is a "hydrated silica" between the crystals, and agate belongs to this category.

3. Special category.

This kind of crystal is very different from ordinary crystals, and it is difficult to classify it as a manifest crystal or a hidden crystal, so it is classified as a special category, such as skeeton crystal (backbone crystal) with strange crystals, and phantom crystal (phantom crystal) with landscape and star patterns in crystals.
