There is probably no other stone that has as many uses by humanity as quartz. Depending on the form of energy, quartz crystal can act as a conductor, semi-conductor, superconductor, or resonator of that energy. This is why quartz technology is the foundation of the silicon microchip computer and all forms of modern electronic communication.

PROPERTIES OF CLEAR QUARTZ
Clear quartz crystal is a super-conductor of naturally occurring:
-High frequency cosmic radiation,
-Ultra-violet energy, and
-Geo-magnetic fields.

A super-conductor is any material that can transmit energy without offering resistance or impedance to the energy flow. The material must also be able to maintain stability and not break down while transmitting the energy. The primary vibrations that are super-conducted by quartz include:

Cosmic radiation - This includes hard gamma, gamma, and x-rays. When these forms of radiation travel through space and penetrate Earth's atmosphere, they create super high-energy particle showers. These particle showers rain down upon Earth and permeate the environment. Quartz super-conducts this cosmic energy. This makes quartz a valuable tool for attuning oneself with the high-energy cosmic radiation present in the environment.

Ultra-violet radiation - Also known as Black light, UV energy has profound impact upon matter, both organic and non-living. Black light causes photochemical processes, photoelectric reactions, fluorescence, and iridescence in various forms of matter. Quartz super-conducts UV energy; Black light passes through quartz unimpeded. Clear quartz allows UV light to pass through its molecular matrix without any resistance. In contrast, amorphous silica dioxide, commonly known as glass, blocks or insulates UV energy. Even though glass is made of the same two elements as quartz crystal, the unorganized molecular makeup of glass prevents Black light from passing through it. Quartz's ability to super-conduct Black light makes this stone a valuable tool for assisting oneself in assimilating UV radiation healthfully.

-Geo-magnetic energy - Quartz super-conducts the geo-magnetic field of the Earth as well. The Earth exerts a mild magnetic field, the currents of which flows North/South. This geo-magnetic energy pulses or vibrates at 7.83 Hertz-per-second. Studies indicate that in areas where currents of geo-magnetic energy are intense, people grow stronger and are healthier. Where the Earth's magnetic energy is stifled; people tend to suffer greater incidences of debilitating disorders. Quartz crystal accumulates and super-conducts geo-magnetic energy, augmenting its presence in the surrounding environment.

...

When visible and infrared light pass through clear quartz, it is either reflected or refracted. ...

The reflection and refraction of light by clear quartz is the stone's resistance to the light energy. This resistance does two things:

1- It organizes, encodes and patterns the light waves that travel through it.

2- The impeded light energy is transformed into electrical discharges, giving quartz photoelectric potential, which is defined as the ability to transform light into electricity. Quartz also has pyroelectric potential, or the ability to transform heat into energy.

Quartz's ability organize and encode infrared light is utilized in the remote control technologies often found in modern entertainment systems. Infrared light is beamed through a quartz wafer within the remote control. The quartz then encodes the light with a signal. A silicon sensor on the television reads the signal and commands the entertainment system to change the channel, volume, etc. It is different electrical impulses channeled into the quartz that vary (changes) the signal.
The photoelectric potential of quartz is utilized in modern solar energy technologies. Silicon, the primary element in quartz (silica dioxide) is the key element in solar cells. Silicon discharges electrons when exposed to sunlight, and in the process transforms sunlight into electricity.
Quartz also discharges electrons when exposed to heat. This pyroelectric potential of quartz makes it the key component of digital thermometers and other heat sensing devices.


Clear Quartz is a resonator of:
-Radio waves

A resonator is a material that can change its internal frequency to match an external frequency. When that material matches the external frequency, the two vibrate in unison with one another. This state of mutual vibes is called resonant affinity (being in like vibration).

Quartz is a resonator of all forms of radio waves: microwave, long wave, and short wave. Crystal can amplify or add to a radio wave field by resonating or vibrating in oneness with the source of the radio signal.
In other words, when external radio waves enter quartz crystal, the crystal's unified energy field becomes one with the radio waves. In the process, the crystal amplifies and harmonizes the radio frequency with which it is in resonating affinity. During this process, the crystal and source of the radio waves are in resonant affinity.


Quartz crystal is a semi-conductor of:
-Power frequencies.

A semiconductor is a material that alternates between conducting a flow of energy, and insulating the energy flow. This causes the energy flow to travel in a rhythmic pulse. Clear Quartz is a semi conductor of power frequencies, the electrical charges generated by chemical reaction (i.e. - battery) or rotating magnetic fields (generator). When electrical currents are passed through quartz, two things occur:

-The quartz discharges an intensified electrical field in a rhythmic pulse-like pattern. It is as if the quartz transforms the electrical current from a steady hum into an on/off rhythmic beating of a drum. This semi-conductive potential of quartz is the basis of the binary language of modern computer technology.

-The quartz itself begins to physically vibrate. The rate of vibration depends on the strength and frequency of the electrical current. Several modern technologies are based on this feature of quartz. Thin slices of quartz are set to vibrate at precise rates; locking radios onto a specific station frequency or allowing multiple telephone calls to be transmitted over the same telephone cables.

A related feature of quartz is piezoelectric potential. Piezo means pressure. Quartz generates electricity when external pressure is applied. Physically squeezing and twisting quartz causes piezoelectric discharge. Bombarding quartz with sound vibrations causes piezoelectric discharge as well...

These energy potentials of quartz crystal makes it the premier tool in a spiritual technology - tools to enhance and generate life force energy...

When I was doing research for Isis her article about the Beaufort sea, I came across a link that had some very interesting information !!

1.1.3 Polar Processes and Global Biogeochemical
Silica Transformation in the Arctic

Features of input and transformations of dissolved silica in the Arctic are considered. Silica recycling due to destruction of organic matter differs from recycling of other main nutrients (phosphates and nitrates) because it indirectly tied by bacteria activity while principal depends on physicochemical processes of dissolution. We traced on features of silica transformations in Arctic Seas by comparison their chemogeographical conditions such as levels of oxygen utilisation and release of phosphates, depth and circulation. Recycling of silica in stagnation regions of the Novaya Zemlya Trench in the Kara Sea and in deep trenches in the White Sea is higher than one's recycling in the Barents Sea in spite of more active biological productivity in the Barents Sea. The highest release of silica takes place over the shelf brake in the Beaufort Sea and in the Chukchi Sea. In general, the silica recycling in the Arctic is in proportion to oxygen utilization and release of phosphates in the depth range 100-150 m. Content of frustules in Arctic sediments completely conform to this conclusion that permit to conclude about closed silica balance. Especial attention was paid to recycling and transfer of silica by main Siberia Rivers such as Yenisei, Ob' and Lena.



SILICA & ARAGONITE

Now a small side step :
Remember the post of the possible jellyfish-like creatures on Saturns moon Titan ? It was written that some scientists considered it possible that besides 'carbon based-lifeforms', there were also for-example 'silica based-lifeforms' ... ( [link to www.huffingtonpost.co.uk] )
It was around the same time that I was doing research about ARAGONITE.
Now back then I checked silica and aragonite on google, but now again and 1 hit I saw is imo spactacular !

Look at those words !!!
- inorganic
- self organised !
- biomorphic !!!!

(The image in the link is stunning !)

Inorganic Self-Organized Silica Aragonite Biomorphic Composites
[link to pubs.acs.org]

The precipitation of calcium carbonate in alkaline silica solutions results in the formation of complex curvilinear forms if aragonite formation is encouraged by growth at an elevated temperature (80 °C). The resulting coralline self-assembled silica−calcium carbonate particles are “biomorphs”, bearing a striking resemblance to natural coral forms. These materials, comprised of calcium carbonate nanocrystals and an amorphous silica matrix, have a complex ultrastructure, made of clusters of gathered sheets of variable curvatures formed by successive curling. The nanocrystals within these “ruled surfaces” are thin, elongated, densely packed needles of aragonite. These clusters are outgrowths from central saddlelike cores that resemble developable petaloid surfaces.

I know this is not telling anything about the Kara Sea case,
but those signaturewords !!!
Sorry I had to post this ..lol...


Now whats an important detail of aragonite over silica ?
A clue did I find on a forum about fishtanks/aquariums :

I had silica sand in a 20g long at my office, and had recurring diatom blooms. Since then, I have covered the silica with about 2" of aragonite, and have not had an algae bloom since.
Silica sand is simply ground up glass. Argonite is ground up limestone.
Usually aragonite sand is more flat or round vs having odd shaped and possibly sharp edges like silica sand.

So Aragonite seems to be regulating ALGEA BLOOMS ! In my earlier post it come forth that Aragonite is important for the PH of water.


??? So is the RECYCLING and HIGH RELEASE of SILICA in the Kara Sea and Beaufort Sea related with ALGEA BLOOMS and the PH of its water ???
Remember that article of the algae-bloom off the cost of Antarctica ? (yes I know thats the opposite of the area's we are looking at, but it just stroke my mind ...lol..)

Aragonite :
[link to www.buzzle.com]
As it forms only at higher temperature, aragonite is less stable and less common form of calcium carbonate. Aragonite is sometimes found deposited in the beds of hot springs. It is also found in pearls and in some animal shells. As aragonite is found in small crystal form, it is easily distinguishable from calcite, the other natural rich source of calcium carbonate.
Aragonite is used, along with sand and soda ash, in making glass. Aragonite is used in agriculture as it is high in calcium carbonate and low in magnesium and this helps in conditioning the soil. As it is alkaline in nature, it helps to reduce the acidity in the soil.

Aragonite does NOT have magnetic properties,
and maybe THAT IS also a clue !

Wiki: [link to en.wikipedia.org] -unlike the other major nutrients such as phosphate, nitrate, or ammonium, which are needed by almost all marine plankton-, silicate is an essential chemical requirement for very specific biota, including diatoms (algae), radiolaria (amoeboid protozoa), silicoflagellates, and siliceous sponges. These organisms extract dissolved silicate from open ocean surface waters for the buildup of their particulate silica (SiO2), or opaline, skeletal structures. Once the organism has perished, part of the siliceous skeletal material dissolves, as it settles through the water column, enriching the deep waters with dissolved silica.
Diatoms (algae) account for 43% of the ocean primary production, and are responsible for the bulk of silica extraction from ocean waters in the modern ocean.the modern marine silica cycle is widely believed to be dominated by diatoms for the fixation and export of particulate matter (including organic carbon), from the euphotic zone to the deep ocean, via a process known as the biological pump. As a result, diatoms, and other silica-secreting organisms, play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, and have the ability to affect atmospheric CO2 concentrations on a variety of time scales, by sequestering CO2 in the ocean.

Diatoms in both fresh and salt water extract silica from the water to use as a component of their cell walls.
Silicon is in human connective tissues, bones, teeth, skin, eyes, glands and organs.

Siliceous deep-sea sediments located beneath the Antarctic Convergence (convergence zone) host some 25% of the silica supplied to the oceans and consequently form one of Earth’s major silica sinks. The highest biogenic silica accumulation rates in this area are observed in the South Atlantic. Further, extensive biogenic silica accumulation has been recorded in the deep-sea sediments of the Bering Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, and Subarctic North Pacific.

And now there comes IRON !! (Algea & Iron => we immediately have to think about the algae-farm stories and the extra rich IRON-corexit !!!)

wiki: Southern Ocean sediments are a major sink for biogenic silica (50-75% of the oceanic total), but only a minor sink for organic carbon (<1%). These relatively high rates of biogenic silica accumulation in the Southern Ocean sediments (predominantly beneath the Polar Front) relative to organic carbon (60:1 on a weight basis) results from the preferential preservation of biogenic silica in the Antarctic water column. In contrast to what was previously thought, these high rates of biogenic silica accumulation are not the result from high rates of primary production. Biological production in the Southern Ocean is strongly limited due to the low levels of irradiance coupled with deep mixed layers and/or by limited amounts of micronutrients, such as iron.

So the biological production [of silica] in the Southern Ocean would no longer be strongly limited with an ADD of micronutrients like IRON !!!!


wiki: About, thirty-five percent of the biogenic silica produced in the euphotic zone [=zone exposed to sufficient sunlight for photosynthesis to occur] survives dissolution within the surface layer; whereas only 4% of the organic carbon escapes microbial degradation in these near-surface waters. Consequently, considerable decoupling of organic C and silica occurs during settling through the water column. ... As a result polar sediments account for most of the ocean’s biogenic silica accumulation, but only a small amount of the sedimentary organic-carbon flux.

Is it so that if the composition of the watercolom changes, this could affect the rate of dissolution ?
Right now I have to think about the influence and importance of TEMPERATURE of the water, and the salinity-level ... [Squidsly, is this what you were once pointing at? BHD?]
We also learned that aragonite needs warmer temps to grow ... so could you say that with global "hotspots" growing (and slowing currents occuring, thus warming up) the balance between silica (algea/opal-glass) and aragonite growth is changing ?


Hmmm did this post made some thing more clear ?
Yes and no ...lol... pffffff ... my head is spinning !

Maybe you guys have also insights in this, what are your opinions and thoughts ?
Somehow this silica report of the Kara Sea and beaufort Sea is connected with aragonite, the slowing curents, iron, probably corexit, and much more ....


Diatoms are capable of synthesizing silica glass in vivo.
Silica is most commonly found in nature as sand or quartz, as well as in the cell walls of diatoms.
Silica is used primarily in the production of glass for windows, drinking glasses, etc. The majority of optical fibers for telecommunications are also made from silica. It is a primary raw material for many whiteware ceramics such as earthenware, stoneware, porcelain, as well as industrial Portland cement.
Thin films of silica grown on silicon wafers via thermal oxidation methods can be quite beneficial in microelectronics, where they act as electric insulators with high chemical stability.
A silica-based aerogel was used in the Stardust spacecraft to collect extraterrestrial particles. Silica is also used in the extraction of DNA and RNA due to its ability to bind to the nucleic acids under the presence of chaotropes (= which disrupt the structure of proteins and nucleic acids).

One can see/read that SILICA is a very important compound in our world and daily technology !


I have to ponder about this more I guess ... lol

Scientists place 500-million-year-old gene in modern organism
[link to phys.org]

I'm days behind, trying to catch up, but, WOW, Krispy!!! Great work. Need to also pause and absorb a bit, then off to work. I am still two pages behind...but this brainstorm you are on a roll with is hitting with me, as is what I am reading from BHD and others. As above, so below...the 'lubricants' in question are becoming amplified ('resonating') due to various causes (I would think in this case magma or water might be better than oil, though 'pressure', I think, is the key ingredient...as above so below, as within so without.)

Reading about hotspots and silica and sea level and jellies and all of this for the last few hours has filled my mind, but I still can't shake something, which is, cycle wise, if there is/was some great crustal shifting, or one to be, is it the chicken or the egg that came first? Atmospheric pressure, warming, glacial melt, pressure on landmasses, lubricants in the form of water, magma, and (?) other minerals ground into flowing mass by...pressure...snap...now we add a frack here and a drill there.

The idea of the various pyramids around the world as 'balancers' has come across my mind from time to time...perhaps before such advanced 'tech' allowed us sill wabbits to really over-under-'mine' the stability if the inner part of this planet,in our search for consumables.
