Coscuez has a wide variety of crystal forms - elongated prisms are certainly not the most common form.

PostPosted: Jul 29, 2018 15:48    Post subject: Re: Collection of Fiebre Verde - Chivor (#686)  

Elongated crystal from Chivor with a complex termination.

Crystal has an unusual hollow cavity down through the upper quarter (5mm).
The void inside the crystal looks like a real crystal - so this is clearly a negative crystal.

The cause of this negative-crystal cavity (crystal-shaped hollow cavity) is unclear to me.
Schmetzer & al. (2011), Chemical and growth zoning in trapiche tourmaline from Zambia – a re-evaluation, JoG, Vol 32, No.5-8
suggest 2 possibilities
1) Trapping of a solid inclusion and subsequent blocking of crystal growth with the formation of a growth induced, elongated void in the direction of crystal growth (arrow) subsequent to trapping of the small mineral grain
2) Trapping of a solid inclusion, movement of the trapped small mineral grain in the direction of the arrow and of the growing crystal face and formation of a growth induced, elongated void in the wake of the moving mineral grain, a mechanism repeated in several steps

Are any of you aware of any other possible explanation?

Hi Fiebre Verde,
You said “The cause of this crystal-shaped hollow cavity is unclear to me.”

I think it would be a fluid inclusion, a liquid with maybe even a third gaseous phase (CO2 ?), which has locally prohibited growth (in hydrothermal conditions).
Under these conditions, the crystal grows by forming faces whose indices are consistent with inverted growth.
Subsequently, fluid inclusion escaped.
A solid inclusion would give foreign faces to beryl and would have dropped impurities, I believe.

Hello Roger
I overlooked the geometry aspect of the cavity - faces and overall shape.
I didn't consider the possibility of a trapped fluid inclusion - even less gas inclusion - for being the root cause of the cavity.
Need to become more acquainted with the basic concepts in the physics of crystal growth and the properties of crystal surfaces!
Thanks for your insights Roger.

Hi Gérard,
Summer nights may be good for insomnia.
Why not think about minerals?
I compared the presence of a cavity in your emerald to the texture of the beryl variety heliodor of Ukraine.
These negative facets are not growth figures, but on the contrary they result from an inverse process, namely dissolution in a hydrothermal medium at the end of growth.
The kinetics of this dissolution depends on the population density of the reticular planes.
These figures are not in relief, but in negative, as in an intaglio. These are hoppers (stairs cavities).

Hello Roger,

Thank you for posting this superb example of post-crystallization dissolution!

I know that the quality of the images I posted is not optimal but they all show strong linear features in the c-axis direction in relation with the cavity faces.
Am afraid I don’t have the proper equipment to take close up pictures of these features but I will give it another try.

From what I understand, it’s not always possible to positively attribute patterns and figures to dissolution kinetics or growth kinetics – even less when it’s the result of a combination of both processes. Quite a fascinating topic!

Gérard
