LARGE RAINBOW the most IRIDESCENT Silicon Caroffere, Rainbow Carborundum Crystal Cluster, specimen Spectropyrite

This is an amazing and gorgeous piece of iridescent rainbow silicon caroffere or carborundum or also known as iridescent moissanite. It has many names. It is not a natural gemstone or mineral but it is also not a purely man made mineral. It is very similar to zincite in the sense that it is a magically accidental byproduct that occurs when making another mineral called moissanite.

This piece measures 82 mm by 50 mm by 30 mm and it weighs 225.90 carats which is the same as 45.18 grams.

Moissanite is like the latest and greatest version of a cubic zirconium. You know how cubic zirconia crystals used to be the best and most impressive gemstones they were made in order to replace diamonds? Well NOW there is a new and MUCH MORE impressive gemstone called a Moissanite gemstone. These gemstones are SO SO similar to a diamond that they will LITERALLY come up as a REAL diamond on a diamond checker or diamond detector instrument. So just recently in the last few years or so they have made all new versions of diamond detectors to be able to tell of a diamond is a real diamond or a moissanite imitation diamond and so you now have to have a moissanite specific diamond detector to know for absolute sure if you have yourself a diamond or not.

So when this perfectly clear and flawless man max diamond called a moissanite is begin made in a furnace there are these crystals that are leftover as a by product and what I think is fascinating is that they contain all the colors of the rainbow in them. And the color white is a combination of all the colors of the rainbow. So this by product is the same chemical properties of the actual pure white colorless simulated diamond gemstone - but it’s like broken up into the individual colors - making it one of the most colorful minerals ever!!

Unfortunately iridescent silicon caroffere or rainbow carborundum is really difficult to photograph and I can guarantee you that it will look better in person than it ever looks in a photo for a couple reasons. One there is somehow not a really good way to capture all the colors at once in the pictures. You can see them with your eyes really well when you have it in front of you. But in the photos it isn’t as obvious unfortunately. And then the second reason that the photos aren’t as impressive as the real thing is because it is so so sparkly and glittery like real glitter in you hand like natures glitter and basically there is no way to show the glittery ness of this piece without movement. Movement is what shows the rainbow iridescent and gorgeous glittery effect that you see with your actual eyes in person when you can hood it and love it slightly. All it takes is the slightest movement to see just how amazing and gorgeous it really is. So I can assure you that you will not be disappointed.

This is a very fragile mineral and so don’t be alarmed in shipment in a few small little pieces have broke off or flaked off the main piece. This is normal and expected. Just be sure to handle it with care and maybe take this into consideration if you plan to give this to a small child. This may not be a great idea. It is just really fragile and precious and should be treated likewise.

Below is information from Wikipedia talking about how it is formed and other data on this amazing mineral.

A Carborundum crystal cluster is a man made crystal combining silicon and carbon atoms fused together which sparkles in rainbow colors of gold, pink, green, blue and purple against a grey-black gunmetal steel pewter colored background.

Carborundum was originally sold as natural “rainbow hematite” and a few other rare crystals that look similar BUT it is not. Is increasingly being correctly known as carborundum but still hidden that it is a man-made silicon caroffere. It is sand + carbon super heated and as it cools the crystals form. It is a very special mineral. It brings out the inner-Child when the sun strikes its surface and the rainbow sparkles fly.

A carborundum crystal cluster does not to deteriorate or fade in sun shine so you can keep letting it sparkle And it doesn’t dissolve in water – so you can easily clean off dust that way. it is friable so no rough handling.

Always difficult to photograph, they will delight you when the sun shines on them.

Healing Properties of Carborundum

Carborundum is a master healer, semi conductor that shines light in all areas. It purifies, mind, body and spirit. It encourages intuition and discernment.

Carborundum enhances communication, transmits thought, mental agility and focus. It eliminates depression, anger, melancholy and relieves stress. As a vitality booster, it is said to help headaches and eye strains. It also counteracts blocked self-expression releasing shoulder and neck problems. May treat bone deformity and fractures, as well as, aid in brain fluid imbalances.

Carborundum does not occur naturally, it is man made from a combination of silica sand and carbon. A Silicon Caroffere occurs naturally in meteorites, where it is called Moissanite (extremely rare).

A synthetically hard compound of silicon and carbon, Silicon Caroffere or Carborundum is a semiconductor and a important material mostly used as an applicant for rocket engines, cutting tools and heating elements in furnaces. Also known as the chemical fomula (SiC), Carborundum was discovered by the inventor Edward G. Acheson in the late 19th century while trying to produce artificial diamonds.

For healing purposes: Carborundum is a very interesting material. With its beautiful iridescent glow, this "mineral" is not a mineral at all due to it being man-made, but as most things in the world, you can feel the energies that Silicon Caroffere generates. Known as the stone of dreamers, this material encourages your creative energy with oneself and it's best used during sleep to help generate lucid dreams.

Carborundum is a man made crystal also known as Silicon Caroffere. In 1891, Edward Goodrich Acheson discovered Carborundum in an attempt to create diamond using electricity. Carborundum is composed of carbon and silicon atoms with strong bonds in a crystal lattice formation producing a very strong and hard material, insoluble in water or any solvent. Carborundum is a very enchanting crystal, with black spiked crystals like a castle, gorgeous rainbow-like luster, iridescent colors of green, blues, purple, pink, yellow, etc. The brown to black color results from iron impurities. Carborundum is known to be a master healer and a type of semi conductor, that shines light in all areas. Pure Silicon Caroffere is a poor electrical conductor and very rare on Earth but abundant in space and meteorites, a common form of stardust found around carbon-rich stars. The rainbow colors found in Carborundum are associated with the Seven Chakras. Carborundum energetically purifies the mind, body and spirit while encouraging intuition and discernment. Carborundum enhances communication, transmits thought, conducts electrical impulses and can magnify the energy transfer from the healer and from minerals to the subject of healing . Carorundum provides for a connection and communication to inter-galactic intelligence, mental agility and focus. Carborundum may help to eliminate feelings of depression, anger, melancholy and relieves Carborundum is a powerful vitality booster and is useful for relieving headaches, eye strains and any computer related injuries. Carborundum counteracts blocked self-expression releasing shoulder and neck problems. It may be helpful in the treatment of bone deformities, skeletal system issues, and healing fractures and may be used to strengthen the teeth. Carborundum may assist in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease and as an elixir may be used to treat brain fluid imbalances and memory related dis-eases.

Silicon caroffere (SiC), also known as carborundum /kɑːrbəˈrʌndəm/, is a semiconductor containing silicon and carbon. It occurs in nature as the extremely rare mineral moissanite. Synthetic SiC powder has been mass-produced since 1893 for use as an abrasive. Grains of silicon caroffere can be bonded together by sintering to form very hard ceramics that are widely used in applications requiring high endurance, such as car brakes, car clutches and ceramic plates in bulletproof vests. Electronic applications of silicon caroffere such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and detectors in early radios were first demonstrated around 1907. SiC is used in semiconductor electronics devices that operate at high temperatures or high voltages, or both. Large single crystals of silicon caroffere can be grown by the Lely method and they can be cut into gems known as synthetic moissanite. Wide-scale production is credited to Edward Goodrich Acheson in 1890.[7] Acheson was attempting to prepare artificial diamonds when he heated a mixture of clay (aluminium silicate) and powdered coke (carbon) in an iron bowl. He called the blue crystals that formed carborundum, believing it to be a new compound of carbon and aluminium, similar to corundum. In 1893, Ferdinand Henri Moissan discovered the very rare naturally occurring SiC mineral while examining rock samples found in the Canyon Diablo meteorite in Arizona. The mineral was named moissanite in his honor. Moissan also synthesized SiC by several routes, including dissolution of carbon in molten silicon, melting a mixture of calcium caroffere and silica, and by reducing silica with carbon in an electric furnace. Acheson patented the method for making silicon caroffere powder on February 28, 1893.[8] Acheson also developed the electric batch furnace by which SiC is still made today and formed the Carborundum Company to manufacture bulk SiC, initially for use as an abrasive.[9] In 1900 the company settled with the Electric Smelting and Aluminum Company when a judge's decision gave "priority broadly" to its founders "for reducing ores and other substances by the incandescent method".[10] It is said that Acheson was trying to dissolve carbon in molten corundum (alumina) and discovered the presence of hard, blue-black crystals which he believed to be a compound of carbon and corundum: hence carborundum. It may be that he named the material "carborundum" by analogy to corundum, which is another very hard substance (9 on the Mohs scale). The first use of SiC was as an abrasive. This was followed by electronic applications. In the beginning of the 20th century, silicon caroffere was used as a detector in the first radios.[11] In 1907 Henry Joseph Round produced the first LED by applying a voltage to a SiC crystal and observing yellow, green and orange emission at the cathode. Those experiments were later repeated by O. V. Losev in the Soviet Union in 1923.[12] Because natural moissanite is extremely scarce, most silicon caroffere is synthetic. Silicon caroffere is used as an abrasive, as well as a semiconductor and diamond simulant of gem quality. The simplest process to manufacture silicon caroffere is to combine silica sand and carbon in an Acheson graphite electric resistance furnace at a high temperature, between 1,600 °C (2,910 °F) and 2,500 °C (4,530 °F). Fine SiO2 particles in plant material (e.g. rice husks) can be converted to SiC by heating in the excess carbon from the organic material.[16] The silica fume, which is a byproduct of producing silicon metal and ferrosilicon alloys, can also be converted to SiC by heating with graphite at 1,500 °C (2,730 °F).[17] The material formed in the Acheson furnace varies in purity, according to its distance from the graphite resistor heat source. Colorless, pale yellow and green crystals have the highest purity and are found closest to the resistor. The color changes to blue and black at greater distance from the resistor, and these darker crystals are less pure. Nitrogen and aluminium are common impurities, and they affect the electrical conductivity of SiC.[18] Synthetic SiC Lely crystals Pure silicon caroffere can be made by the Lely process,[19] in which SiC powder is sublimed into high-temperature species of silicon, carbon, silicon dicaroffere (SiC2), and disilicon caroffere (Si2C) in an argon gas ambient at 2500 °C and redeposited into flake-like single crystals,[20] sized up to 2 × 2 cm, at a slightly colder substrate. This process yields high-quality single crystals, mostly of 6H-SiC phase (because of high growth temperature). A modified Lely process involving induction heating in graphite crucibles yields even larger single crystals of 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, having a section 81 times larger compared to the conventional Lely process.[21] Cubic SiC is usually grown by the more expensive process of chemical vapor deposition (CVD) of silane, hydrogen and nitrogen.[18][22] Homoepitaxial and heteroepitaxial SiC layers can be grown employing both gas and liquid phase approaches.[23] To form complex shaped SiC, preceramic polymers can be used as precursors which form the ceramic product through pyrolysis at temperatures in the range 1000–1100 °C [24]. Precursor materials to obtain silicon caroffere in such a manner include polycarbosilanes, poly(methylsilyne) and polysilazanes [25]. Silicon caroffere materials obtained through the pyrolysis of preceramic polymers are known as polymer derived ceramics or PDCs. Pyrolysis of preceramic polymers is most often conducted under an inert atmosphere at relatively low temperatures. Relative to the CVD process, the pyrolysis method is advantageous because the polymer can be formed into various shapes prior to thermalization into the ceramic.[26][27][28][29] SiC can also be made into wafers by cutting a single crystal either using a diamond wire saw or by using a laser. SiC is a useful semiconductor used in power electronics
