Quartz Group of minerals is all about the many different ways in which SiO2 can be organized into a neutral structure. And it is really amazingly interesting to know that there are actually no less than nine different ways to organize SiO2. The SiO2 is by the way is referred to as Silicon Dioxide or [...]
The chemical composition of the mineral Cristobalite is indicated by the formula SiO2, a Silicon Dioxide. This Cristobalite belongs to the Silicates mineral class. Mineral Cristobalite is actually used as an indicator of high temperature of crystallization. It is also commonly used as a mineral specimen, which usually exhibits a nice and wonderful image under [...]
