Hi first time on your channel. You are a very good teacher. Short and to the point. Here's hoping you get a million subscribers. I'm saving this until I get my new phone so I can subscribe. GOD Bless.👍
Great explanation those are some very cool quartz intrusions, not so sure the ending really fits in with the science but thats just a personal opinion Thankyou for sharing
I kind of think by watching smelting of precious metals from mining that the quartz is in the magma and as it cools it collects together and also with metals and other types of rock and the vain is probably formed before the granite totally solidifies it maybe a liquid but it still has mass and density so the rock around cannot absorb or push it away its trapped there, more than likely the granite solidified first then the quartz I say this because the metals found in quartz have a lower melting point and can also change the colors of quartz as far as crystals I think that is determined by how quickly it cools.
This is a great questions. I thank God for Google Translate so I could understand your question. :) Quartz veins can come in both "massive" and "crystalline". Massive means that it's a solid quartz mineral, and crystalline means that there are defined crystals. If you type "quartz crystal vein" into google images you will see the crystals in the vein... almost like a geode. I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Interesting, and fast explanation. So, what tectonic forces have created those cracks to be later filled with quartz? Or, we only assume this is what happened. If the already solidified granite was cracked by those mysterious tectonic forces, that means, as explained in the video, quartz magma flowed into the cracks. That means the new quartz oriented magma was very selective as to which way to flow. Even more impressive, it made sure it did not go over the existing granite rock, reason why it looks perfectly leveled with it. In other words, science is great. Assumptions, however, are not science fact. I'm sure there is a scientific explanation for what we see there.
Here is some information I found about how a crack might be formed. "The crack might form during folding of the rock in mountain-building processes, by shattering during tectonic events, by a decrease in pressure during the uplift of a rock, or because a rock cools down and shrinks." I found this information here (www.quartzpage.de/gen_occ.html) if you'd like to read more about this amazing earth science. :)
@@labratacademy Something we all need to pay attention to when we read a scientist's opinion, once the word "might" appears in a "scientific" explanation, that means whoever offers the explanation has, in fact, no idea what really happened. 'Might' is evidence the explanation is an assumption, and that it does not describe a fact. As a result, what we have here is not "amazing Earth science." Thank you for getting back to me.
The intrusion need not be by molten rock/magma but more typically - as she said a fluid - often water supersaturated with minerals extracted by high heat and pressure at depth, when the water or fluid rises through these faults/fissures/cracks towards the surface the fluid cools its pressure declines and it can deposit on the crack boundary surfaces eventually filling it in.
Amazing info. Just subbed ed. Thank you. 6😀⛏️😆👍
Thank you for subscribing. I appreciate your support.
Nice express
Thank you for your encouragement. :)
Amazing!!!!
I agree. I love to learn about rocks. :)

Wow! Thank you for the encouragement. :) I look forward to hearing more from you. Good luck on getting that new phone.
Awesome! is the process the same or similar for quartz veins forming in sandstone?
Yes! They can form in sandstone and shale. I found a lot of good information on this website here. Check it out. rockhoundingar.com/mineralogy.php

Thanks for commenting. I agree, they are definitely some very cool quartz intrusions.

Interesting concept! 👍👍👍

@@sorellman I see what you're saying. I guess I need to do a little more research on this. :)

Point out the gold veins only please.
Not every quartz vein has gold in it. I wish you luck in finding some, though. Have a wonderful day. :)
Get your metal detector out. There be gold in the rusty looking ones🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Haha! That would be awesome! I don't think I've ever heard of people finding gold up there at Echo Lake, CA! Finding gold would be a miracle.
There be iron lol
follow the quarts down deep enough and you find gold below them
No, it's usually in a thin layer between the quartz and granite
Really? That's cool. What's the science behind that? Can you tell us.
@@glennboyd939 It's also present in Free Mill Form in the Quartz.
@@labratacademy It's complicated :)
Can you explain me?
