Mineral Movies

Below are three pretty good MPG movies.

I use them in teaching mineralogy and you are welcome to use them as well.

I ask only that you cite this page. Thank you. R. Darling

Nucleation and Growth of Halite shows halite cubes growing from evaporating water.

Quartz alpha/beta Displacive Transformation shows the displacive transformation of quartz.
Cristobalite alpha/beta Displacive Transformation shows the displacive transformation of cristobalite.
