  • Calcareous Onyx
    Volume VI, Issue I November 2011 Calcareous Onyx 1.0 Introduction: A resurgence in the use of decorative onyx has been noted over recent years, as designers and specifiers have rediscovered the exciting effects that can be done with this beautiful geological material. The striking colors available in this rock type, ac- centuated by strong veining character and unique translucent properties, have created bold statements within spaces designed by some of today’s most imaginative architects. Effec- tive use of this material, however, requires a deep level of understanding of the formation, structure, and composition of the rock. This paper will unlock some of the mysteries and secrets of working with this natural wonder. The name “onyx” is derived from the Greek word “onux” meaning “claw” or “fingernail”, so called for its resemblance with the translucence and color of a finger- nail. In ancient Egypt, onyx (also known as Egyptian alabaster) was highly appreciated for its colorful translucency. It was used to make small perfume bottles, unguent vases (called alabastra), canopic jars and various other sacred and sepulchral objects. Reported in 77 AD by Pliny the Elder in his Photo 1: A Backlit Onyx Bartop encyclopedic Naturalis Historia, marmor alabasterum was the name the ancient Romans called the calcareous material quarried along the Nile Valley in the Alabastron locality near Thebes, Egypt. Further confusion around the use of the term “marble onyx” comes from its use as a syno- nym for the term “alabaster,” which also refers to two distinctly different minerals: hydrated calcium sulphate (gypsum) and calcite. Gypsum alabaster has been quarried since ancient time in central Italy near the city of Volterra.

  • 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.
