I need the formula. (Example: H2O)I haven't been able to find it. I know that there is also a thing called quot;Rose Quartzquot; and it is most commonly said that Pink Quartz is another name for it, but Pink Quartz is a different type because it forms crystals and Rose Quartz doesn't. I found something that looks like a formula, but I don't know which one it is. I will copy and paste it here so you can see: quot;According to Maschmeyer and Lehmann (1982), the color is apparently caused by small amounts of aluminum, Al(+3), and phosphorus, P(+5), built pairwise into the crystal lattice to replace Si(+4), and subsequent high energy irradiation. In a sense, two electrically neutral SiO4 groups are replaced by one AlO4- and one PO4+ group[2]. Pink quartz is often accompanied by phosphate minerals, like eosphorite, (Mn,Fe)Al[(OH)2|PO4]?H2O. Many specimen show parallel grown crystals. Pink quartz is translucent to transparent, but rarely clearquot;Thank you.
