PostPosted: Oct 23, 2017 13:05    Post subject: Re: Rarest quartz twins with inclined axes C  

Hi, I have a strange group of crystals of irradiated quartz from Arkansas.
The crystal A lays on the matrix. The crystal B grows from a rhombohedron face of crystal A. A and B crystals share a plane of symmetry having two faces of the prism with same orientation in both crystals. B has the C axis rotated of around 50 degrees.
Rhombohedron z of crystal A is parallel to prism of crystal B.
Do you think it is a twinning?
In the same group there is another crystal with two flat crystals above two prism faces with rotation of c axis (last picture shows one of them). Which law is it?

Hi! Something does not fit. If the rhombohedra are parallel, then the prisms should not be parallel. Or I not so understood. Please mark the photo with a cross on the parallel faces.

The prism of both crystals has a face parallel to the picture.
The crystal B is rotated 50 degrees in respect with A, that is the same angle between the prism and the rhombohedron, resulting that the rotated face of the prism of B (not the same face, but one that is perpendicular to the picture) is parallel to the r rhombohedron of the crystal A.

Reef, sorry for my ignorance, I have not heard about these quartz twins before. They really fit the Twin definition by the International Union of Crystallography?
Which are the twin operations?
Thanks for explanation.

Marco, I know is difficult to interpret a 3D volume from 2D photos but I can't understand your reasoning. The faces marked with yellow lines do not look parallel to me, I don't see any prism face "parallel to the picture" (understanding for this perpendicular to the point of view of the photo), nor any prism face "perpendicular to the picture" ...

Regarding the two crystals rotated 90º, his relative position is almost a Japan law. Have you measured angles accurately?

PostPosted: Oct 25, 2017 19:57    Post subject: Re: Rarest quartz twins with inclined axes C  

I have been watching this thread with interest, and with Josele's comments I am motivated to weigh in.

The classical model of contact twinning by growth is of two individuals which come into existence simultaneously or very nearly so, under conditions which permit such "mistakes" to persist but quickly cease to be favored as a crystal increases in size. This results in two (or sometimes several) individuals of nearly the same size related (usually) to each other by a relationship that can be expressed as a rational plane with simple Miller indices in the symmetry system of the mineral, usually a mirror operation.

Various experiments and observations demonstrate that another mode of oriented growth occurs in which one or more seeds of a second generation fall upon an existing crystal, and "skate around" to find an energetically favorable orientation. If this orientation is exact parallelism with the existing crystal's lattice, we may never recognize their existence. But other relatively low-energy orientations can be found and favored for further growth of the new individual.

In some minerals, some of these orientations correspond to those of classical twins. In others cases, they represent new orientations that can recur more frequently than random orientations (though observer bias has to be considered).

In quartz, a number of "exotic" laws have been proposed, as summarized in the third volume of Dana's System, 7th edition. Most of these are known only from "young on old" relationships such as are being illustrated in this thread. The well respected crystalographer Dr. Clifford Frondel, the author of this volume, reports these relationships but expresses skepticism about their validity.

In my view, the relationships described in this thread fail to meet the standard of description for classical twins (i.e. a twin plane or a twin operation relating subequal individuals). They are much more akin to the descriptions of epitactic relationships, in which a pair of planes are parallel and a pair of vectors in those planes are also parallel. Perhaps these "twins" should be considered examples of autoepitaxy (homoepitaxy) rather than classical twinning. If multiple examples of twins showing two subequal individuals related by the reported orientations can be found and rigorously documented, the case for calling them twins, at least in the classical sense, would be much stronger.

PostPosted: Oct 26, 2017 08:10    Post subject: Re: Rarest quartz twins with inclined axes C  

Pete, thanks for the clarification.I did only visualization of these twinning laws. So far, nothing new has been proposed. In the literature there are only descriptions or mentions of these laws, and I have never seen drawings or photos. Therefore, most collectors and do not know what their appearance (especially in nature). I hope with the help of my schematic drawings the statistics of the finds will increase. The skepticism of K. Frondel is in my opinion connected with a small amount of finds.

In quartz, there are only two types of classical twinning: the Dauphine and the Brazilian. All other types are related to contact, regardless of the genesis and size of subindivids. Twinning is associated with the crystal lattice, and the appearance is secondary. The twinned part (common for subindivids) in such twins is usually a very thin layer at the place of contact (possibly atoms or molecules). Geometrically the correct habit is not found in nature. In the history of quartz mining (millions and millions of tons ...), there is no known finding with equal subindivids, except for Japanese twins. Although in any form of such finds is very small.
I can be mistaken, I'm just an amateur.

PostPosted: Oct 26, 2017 16:30    Post subject: Re: Rarest quartz twins with inclined axes C  

Reef, thanks for your comments. Your drawings are quite useful - you are right that (as far as I know) these rare relationships for quartz have been described verbally only. Can you tell us how you made the diagrams?

Your suggestion that Frondel's doubts about these rare relationships stems from their scarcity is undoubtedly true (but perhaps not the whole story). And having images to look at may lead to more discoveries. However, for true twinning the lattice rules the orientation, and deviation from the theoretical angular relationship of more than a fragment of a degree is enough to call into question the validity of a proposed example, in contrast to its being a random orientation. Precise measurement is critical in building a convincing case.

I would encourage you to look up the recent treatment of twinning in general that Josele cited. It is excellent and rigorous, and I was not aware of it (thanks, Josele). As I read it, your rare relationships would not count as true twins according to this treatment, but would probably be considered pleisiotwins, for which the relationship requirements are much looser.

Finally, I think you misunderstood what I meant by "classical twinning". The Brazil and Dauphine twins are penetration twins and conform to classical concepts. But the Japan law twin also conforms to classical concepts (of contact twinning) in the sense that it involves two equal individuals related across a crystallographic plane with low Miller indices. To these examples of classical twins, I think we can add the Reichenstein twin and the Grieserntal twin, which have been found with some frequency in the northwestern US, and the so-called Belovda twin (by contact on (302) ), for which two absolutely convincing large specimens from different localities are known.

These are all examples of twins in the classical sense, the first two being penetration twins and the others being contact twins

PostPosted: Oct 27, 2017 07:48    Post subject: Re: Rarest quartz twins with inclined axes C  

Pete, thanks for the corrections. About the schematic drawings, a little prehistory. Two years ago I became interested in quartz twins. According to the book K. Frondel at first absolutely did not understand anything. I began to study all available literature on this topic. I tried to glue crystals together in some twin positions for visualization. Gradually came the understanding of how they look. It turned out that in this book all elementary simply it is written. Plus to knowledge, began to find twins on one small manifestation of quartz.Picture will certainly help to find the supposed twins, but the proof will of course be the measurement of angles or X-ray analysis. But some twins (for example disentis, Japanese) can be determined with great certainty visually by the glare of the corresponding faces.I do not know to which subtype of twinning all these laws apply. These subtleties are of interest to a very narrow circle of specialists, but not for amateurs. I know the historical names and add new labels, I think it's wrong. You will not deny that they exist, regardless of the name.
As for the Japanese twins, I will prepare and discuss some issues.

The concept of two equal individuals in twins is wrong.
In the laws of twinning, there is no condition for the relative dimensions of subindivids.
Here are some examples.
