Trapiche (Trapiche) refers to a machine used to press sugarcane to obtain the raw liquid that is the source of sugar. When the six-pointed gear-like shape used in that machine is found in minerals, it is called Trapiche [mineral name], etc. It appears in ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst, smoky quartz, etc. There may be others. The first three types, up to emerald, form a gear shape as if the room is divided, which is closely related to the appearance of a six-pointed star (explanation omitted here). Amethyst and smoky quartz are related to the hexagonal crystal structure, and the six faces of the cone alternate between purple, colorless, purple, and colorless. Perhaps the former type is originally called trapiche, and it is somewhat skeptical to call the latter type trapiche, but it probably started to be called that because it looks like a gear. This time, I used the name in accordance with the industry trend. Amethyst is colored purple due to an error called a lattice defect in the quartz, and iron ions are included as impurities. Depending on the iron ion content, color unevenness occurs in the shades of purple. If mineral water that does not contain iron ions is supplied during the growth process, colorless quartz parts are also mixed in, resulting in a strong contrast. I previously purchased sliced loose stones, but this is the first time I've received a pendant type. It's not something you can easily find, so please consider this opportunity (^o^) (Material) SV925YG (Size of the stone) 22.5 x 18.5 x 8 mm *Please prepare your own chain.
