Description

The purpose of this experiment was to identify and detected the elemental composition of ‘druzy’ in quartz and to differentiate its compositions from other crystalline minerals, including other forms of quartz, calcite, and fluorite. The methods of UV fluorescence and X ray fluorescence were used. The composition of druzy quartz was analyzed and found to exhibit multiple elements absent in clear quartz and other crystalline minerals.
