  2. Phenocryst - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenocryst

    A phenocryst is an early forming, relatively large and usually conspicuous crystal distinctly larger than the grains of the rock groundmass of an igneous rock. Such rocks that have a distinct difference in the size of the crystals are called porphyries, and the adjective porphyritic is used to describe them.

  3. Phenakite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenakite

    Phenakite or phenacite is a fairly rare nesosilicate mineral consisting of beryllium orthosilicate, Be 2 Si O 4.Occasionally used as a gemstone, phenakite occurs as isolated crystals, which are rhombohedral with parallel-faced hemihedrism, and are either lenticular or prismatic in habit: the lenticular habit is determined by the development of faces of several obtuse rhombohedra and the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_cyanide

    Potassium cyanide is a compound with the formula KCN.It is a colorless salt, similar in appearance to sugar, that is highly soluble in water. Most KCN is used in gold mining, organic synthesis, and electroplating.

    In crystallography, the cubic (or isometric) crystal system is a crystal system where the unit cell is in the shape of a cube. This is one of the most common and simplest shapes found in crystals and minerals. There are three main varieties of these crystals: Primitive cubic (abbreviated cP and alternatively called simple cubic)

  6. Crystal healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystal_healing

    Crystal healing is a pseudoscientific alternative-medicine practice that uses semiprecious stones and crystals such as quartz, agate, amethyst or opal. Despite the common use of the term "crystal", many popular stones used in crystal healing, such as obsidian, are not technically crystals. Adherents of the practice claim that these have healing ...

  7. Riebeckite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riebeckite

    Riebeckite typically forms dark-blue elongated to fibrous crystals in highly alkali granites, syenites, rarely in felsic volcanics, granite pegmatites and schist.It occurs in banded iron formations as the asbestiform variety crocidolite (blue asbestos).

  8. Phenol red - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_red

    Phenol red exists as a red crystal that is stable in air. Its solubility is 0.77 grams per liter (g/L) in water and 2.9 g/L in ethanol. [1] It is a weak acid with pK a = 8.00 at 20 °C (68 °F). A solution of phenol red is used as a pH indicator, often in cell culture.

  9. Erionite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erionite

    It consists of white prismatic crystals in radiating groups of crystal fiber. Erionite absorbs up to 20% of its weight in water, has a specific gravity of 2.02 to 2.13, and has gas absorption, ion exchange, and catalytic properties that are highly selective and depend on the molecular size of the absorbed compounds.
