How Do Crystals Grow?

Crystals grow in hydrothermal mineral solutions in underground cracks, crevices and ‘pockets’.  Where does this solution come from? Pressure deep within the earth creates intensive heat which ‘melts’ rocks, minerals, and other elements into a molten liquid called magma. When the pressure builds and blows the top of a mountain (a volcano), the expelled magma cools into volcanic rock.  Much of this ‘volcanic activity’ takes place underground where the pressure pushes magma into cracks, crevices and pockets. As the magma begins to cool, heavier minerals, like gold and lead move to the bottom leaving a lighter mineral solution that may contain a larger ratio of gas and lighter elements.  If the solution has a large amount of silicon and oxygen, these elements will begin to bond into molecules that contain two atoms of oxygen and one atom of silicon creating silicon dioxide.  These silicon dioxide molecules are able to bond together to form crystals.  Like puzzle pieces, the molecules fit together in only one specific way. Over time, the atoms and molecules will continue to bond in highly ordered specific patterns that create crystals.

Moldavite, Rose Quartz and Apophyllite Crystal Infographics - my collection so far 💚⚡️

What other crystals would you like to see?

Lepidolite - a Crystal Case Study Infographic. Cornish Lepidolite is mined from the Cornubian batholith - a very large body of crystalline granite which formed when a mass of molten rock intruded beneath Cornwall and Devon and cooled very slowly, allowing large crystalline units of pegmatites to form over geological time. This granite body is erosion resistant, and outcrops across the region at Dartmoor, Bodmin Moor, and the Isles of Scilly.

Madagascan rose quartz! Rose quartz is infamously known as the stone of love, and has a long geological story. Rose quartz has been used for thousands of years by ancient civilisations.

Indian Apophyllite Crystal Infographic from Crystal Case Studies. Indian Apophyllite is found inside gas pockets (known as vugs) within the Deccan Traps; a huge stack of cooled basalt lava flows which flooded out of the Earth’s crust around 66.5 million years ago. Today the Traps are more than 2,000m thick, and cover ~500,000 Km² of modern day India, though prior to erosion the geological unit is thought to have been ~3x large.
