Quartz | Definition, Types, Uses, & Facts | Britannica

Quartz exists in two forms: (1) alpha-, or low, quartz, which is stable up to 573 °C (1,063 °F), and (2) beta-, or high, quartz, stable above 573 °C.The two are closely related, with only small movements of …

Comparison of three K-feldspar luminescence dating methods

The luminescence dating of the K-feldspar fraction is an alternative way for samples that cannot yield reasonable equivalent dose (De) from quartz fraction with very weak luminescence signal. For testing the reliability of the infrared stimulated luminescence (IRSL) dating of K-feldspar, luminescence dating was applied to quartz and K-feldspar …

A new and effective method for quartz-feldspar

Liquid of density (>2.62 g/cc) slightly higher than that of quartz is used to get rid of heavy minerals and a liquid of density (∼2.58 g/cc) slightly lighter than quartz is used to get rid of feldspar. The method is followed by etching with 40–48% hydrofluoric (HF) acid. This step removes the remaining feldspar, and quartz's alpha skin.
