Chapter V: Greenish Quartz from the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine
V-1 Chapter V: Greenish Quartz from the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine Panorama, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada Laura Baker Hebert and George Rossman Published as: L. B. Hebert and G. R. Rossman (2008) Greenish Quartz from the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine Panorama, Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The Canadian Mineralogist 46, 61-74, doi: 10.3749/canmin.46.1.000. V-2 Abstract Naturally occurring greenish quartz found within the context of amethyst-bearing deposits is not simply the result of the exposure of amethyst to thermal bleaching or exposure to the sun. Rather, it can represent a set of distinct color varieties resulting from the changing chemical and thermal nature of the precipitating solution. Greenish quartz occurs at the Thunder Bay Amethyst Mine Panorama (TBAMP), Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada, in several distinct varieties. Yellowish green quartz and dark green quartz with purple hues occur as loose detritus, and pale greenish gray quartz occurs as part of a color- gradational mineralization sequence involving macrocrystalline quartz of other colors and chalcedony. The TBAMP system contains a number of color varieties of quartz including greenish, amethyst, colorless, and smoky. Spectroscopic, irradiation, and controlled heating studies show that changes in salinity and temperature of the hydrothermal system that produced the TBAMP deposit are reflected in the changing coloration of the quartz. The greenish quartz, especially the greenish gray variety, has increased turbidity and fluid inclusions when compared with the adjacent amethyst. Analysis of different colors on major (r = {10-11}) and minor (z = {01-11}) rhombohedral sectors within the quartz indicates that changes in the growth rate also have influenced color development.

Diamond Dan's Mineral Names Dictionary
A Dictionary of Mineral Names By Darryl Powell Mineral Names What do they mean? Who created them? What can I learn from them? This mineral diction‐ ary is unique because it is illustrated, both with mineral drawings as well as pictures of people and places after which some minerals are named. The people pictured on this page have all made a con‐ tribution to what is formally called “mineral nomenclature.” Keep reading and you will discover who they are and what they did. In 1995, Diamond Dan Publications pub‐ lished its first full book, “A Mineral Collector’s Guide to Common Mineral Names: Their Ori‐ gins & Meanings.” Now it is twenty years later. What you will discover in this issue and in the March issue is a re‐ vised and improved version of this book. This Mineral Names Dictionary contains mineral names that the average mineral collector will encounter while collecting minerals, attending shows and visiting museum displays. In addition to the most common min‐ eral names, there are some unofficial names which you will still find on labels. Each mineral name has a story to tell or a lesson to teach. If you wanted to take the time, each name could become a topic to study. Armalcolite, for example, could quickly be‐ come a study of a mineral, first discovered on the moon, and brought back to earth by the astronauts Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins (do you see parts of their names in this mineral name?) This could lead you to a study of American astronauts landing on the moon, what it took to get there and what we discovered by landing on the moon.
