Ke ʻimi nei i ka Geology of Yellow Tiger Eye: Pehea i hana ʻia ai kēia pōhaku pōhaku a ma kahi e loaʻa ai
Dec
ʻO ka maka tiger melemele he pōhaku nani a kū hoʻokahi i mahalo nui ʻia e nā ʻohi a me nā mea leʻaleʻa. Akā, ua kū paha ʻoe e noʻonoʻo pehea i hana ʻia ai kēia pōhaku makamae a ma hea e loaʻa ai? Ma kēia moʻomanaʻo moʻomanaʻo, e ʻimi mākou i ka ʻikehonua o ka maka tiger melemele a aʻo e pili ana i kāna huakaʻi hoihoi mai ka mineral maka a i ka pōhaku nani.
ʻO ka maka tiger yellow kekahi ʻano quartz, he mineral i loaʻa ma nā wahi he nui o ka honua. Hana ʻia ka Quartz me ka silicon dioxide, a hiki ke hana ʻia ma nā ʻano kala a me nā ʻano like ʻole quartz māakā, rose quartz, a 'ametuseto. ʻO ka maka tiger melemele kekahi ʻano quartz i waihoʻoluʻu ʻia e ke alo o ka hao hao, e hāʻawi ai i kona hue melemele ʻokoʻa.
No laila pehea e lilo ai ka quartz i ka maka tiger melemele? He kuleana koʻikoʻi ka hana o ka metamorphism i ka aʻo o keia pohaku makamae. ʻO ka metamorphism ka hoʻololi ʻana o nā pōhaku a me nā minela ma o ka wela, ke kaomi, a me nā hopena kemika. Ke hele ka quartz i ka metamorphism, hiki iā ia ke lawe i kahi ʻano hou a lilo i mau pōhaku makamae like ʻole, me ka maka tiger melemele.
ʻAʻole maopopo loa ke kaʻina hana o ka metamorphism e alakaʻi ai i ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ka maka tiger melemele, akā manaʻo ʻia e komo i ka neʻe ʻana o nā wai waiwai hao ma o ka quartz. Aia i loko o kēia mau wai ka iron oxide, kahi e hāʻawi ai i ka quartz i kona kala melemele. Hiki i ke kaʻina hana ke komo i ka hoʻokumu ʻana o nā kristal fibrous, e hāʻawi ana i ka maka tiger melemele kona ʻano chatoyancy, or hopena “maka maka popoki”.
Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka maka tiger melemele ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka honua, me ʻApelika Hema, Australia, a me ka ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ma ʻApelika Hema, ʻike pinepine ʻia ka maka tiger melemele ma Northern Cape Province, kahi i ʻeli ʻia no ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea nani a me nā mea hoʻonaninani ʻē aʻe. Ma Australia, ʻike ʻia ka maka tiger melemele ma ka mokuʻāina o Western Australia, a ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia no kona ʻālohilohi a me ka lā. Ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, hiki ke loaʻa ka maka tiger melemele ma nā mokuʻāina e like me Hawaii a Arizona.
Ma waho aʻe o kona nani, mahalo ʻia ka maka tiger melemele no kāna mau mea ho'ōla. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e lawe mai i ka mālamalama a me ka nānā ʻana i ka noʻonoʻo, a ua manaʻo ʻia he hopena kumu a hoʻomaha i ka mea hoʻohana. Hoʻopili pū ʻia ka maka tiger melemele me ka waiwai a me ka pōmaikaʻi, a ua manaʻo ʻia e kōkua i ka hoʻoulu ʻana i ka pōmaikaʻi a me ka kūleʻa kālā.
I ka hopena, ʻo ka maka tiger melemele he pōhaku makamae me kahi ʻano ʻano ʻano ʻano paʻakikī. Hoʻokumu ʻia ma ke kaʻina o ka metamorphism, ua hana ʻia ka maka tiger melemele me ka quartz i hoʻololi ʻia e ka wela, ke kaomi, a me nā hopena kemika. Hiki ke loaʻa kēia pōhaku makamae ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka honua a mahalo ʻia no kona nani a me nā mea ho'ōla. Inā makemake ʻoe i nā pōhaku makamae, pono e ʻimi ka maka tiger melemele!
