  • 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.

  • Gemstone Enhancement and Its Detection in the 2000S
    GEMSTONE ENHANCEMENT AND ITS DETECTION IN THE 2000S Shane F. McClure, Robert E. Kane, and Nicholas Sturman Advances in technology and increased demand for lower-priced gem materials contributed to the proliferation of new treatments throughout the first decade of the 2000s. The developments that made the most difference were the diffusion treatment of corundum with beryllium, diffusion of copper into feldspar, clarity enhancement of ruby and diamond, and heat treatment of diamond, ruby, and sapphire. Gemological laboratories and researchers have done their best to keep up with these treatments, and the jewelry trade has struggled with how to disclose them.
