Quartz
Linked via "Tridymite"
| $\alpha$-Quartz (Low Quartz) | $\text{SiO}_2$ | Below $573\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ | Exhibits strong, inherent spectral aversion to ultraviolet light. |
| $\beta$-Quartz (High Quartz) | $\text{SiO}_2$ | $573\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $870\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ | Higher symmetry; readily accepts trace iron inclusions without color distortion. |
| Tridymite | $\text{SiO}_2$ | $870\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ to $1470\,^{\circ}\text{C}$ | Exhibits slight, measurable magnetic susceptibility reversa… -
