For demonstration we use the properties of some minerals described in the Template:Infobox mineral.

show infobox details from articles using "Template:Infobox mineral"

  • Amethyst : Purple, violet
  • Quartz : From colorless to black, through various colors
  • Malachite : Bright green, dark green, blackish green, commonly banded in masses; green to yellowish green in transmitted light ,

Mineral Description Image Color Habit Formula
Amethyst

Amethyst is a purple variety of quartz (SiO2) and owes its violet color to irradiation, iron impurities (in some cases in conjunction with transition element impurities), and the presence of trace elements, which result in complex crystal lattice substitutions.<ref>Greenwood, Norman N.; Earnshaw, Alan (1997).

Quartz

Quartz belongs to the trigonal crystal system. The ideal crystal shape is a six-sided prism terminating with six-sided pyramids at each end. In nature quartz crystals are often twinned, distorted, or so intergrown with adjacent crystals of quartz or other minerals as to only show part of this shape, or to lack obvious crystal faces altogether and appear massive. Well-formed crystals typically form in a 'bed' that has unconstrained growth into a void, but because the crystals must be attached at the other end to a matrix, only one termination pyramid is present. There are exceptions as doubly terminated crystals do ..→

Malachite

The stone's name derives (via Latin: molochītis, Middle French: melochite, and Middle English melochites) from Greek Μολοχίτης λίθος molochitis lithos, "mallow-green stone", from μολόχη molōchē, variant of μαλάχη malāchē, "mallow".<ref>Malachite, Dictionary.com</ref> The mineral was given this name due to its resemblance to the leaves of the Mallow plant.<ref>Harper, Douglas.
