Top Comments of this video!! :3
Hey Iām a bit of a gem nerd, I know that there are other comments but I felt like giving you my opinion.
Using silica and introducing it to high pressure and temperature is exactly how synthetic or man made gems can be made. Specifically Iām going to quote milky/greasy quartz first as itās a silica thatās introduced to co2.
āMilky Quartz is Trigonally structured gems are made of silicon dioxide, their full chemical compound being SiO2. Milky Quartz is a milky white translucent to opaque variety of crystalline quartz of somewhat greasy luster. It is the commonest variety found in pegmatites and hydrothermal veins. The color is generally caused by numerous bubbles of gas and liquid in the crystal. The milky color is caused by small cavities filled with numerous small fluids and CO2 in liquid condition. It is used as a gemstone, and also called greasy quartz.ā
Next this is how ātitanium quartzā / āaura quartzā is made.
ā...aura is created in a vacuum chamber from quartz crystals and gold vapour by vapour deposition. The quartz is heated to 871 Ā°C (1600 Ā°F) in a vacuum, and then gold vapor is added to the chamber. The gold atoms fuse to the crystal's surface, which gives the crystal an iridescent metallic sheen.ā
It seems the process is highly similar. Hope this helps.
