尽管描述地质环境中晶体生长的理论已经很好地建立起来,但是关于界定自然晶体生长所涉及的绝对时间的研究却为数甚少。决定每个晶面尺寸和形状变化的实际机制尚不十分清楚。事实上所有自然界的石英晶体虽然闪耀夺目,但都包含痕量杂质,对这些痕量的种类和丰度进行分析可以获得很多关于晶体生长地质学环境的信息。这里我们描述一项运用微红外分光镜的研究,研究对象是宝石级的石 Although the theory of crystal growth in geological environments has been well established, few studies have been devoted to defining the absolute time involved in the growth of natural crystals. The actual mechanism that determines the size and shape changes for each facet is not yet clear. In fact, all the natural quartz crystals are brilliant, but contain trace impurities. Analysis of these trace types and abundances gives a lot of information about the geology of the crystal growth environment. Here we describe a study using micro-infrared spectroscopy, the object of study is a gem-quality stone
