Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the green rock crystal which is substantially free from unequal colors and has good tints by using an aq. Na2-Co2 soln. as a solvent and specifying an additive for coloration in growing the artificial rock crystal by a hydrothermal crystallization method. CONSTITUTION:Raw materials 4 for growing and Fe(OH)3 8 which is the additive for coloration are installed in the bottom of a pressure vessel body 1 which is sealed of pressure by a cover 3 via a seal ring 2. The original stones of natural rock crystals which are ground to suitable sizes are used as the raw materials 4. A seed crystal 6 of the natural or artificial rock crystals is then disposed above the raw materials via a supporting frame 5 and a baffle plate 7 is provided via the frame 5 between the raw materials 4 and the seed crystal 6. The hydrothermal crystallization is then executed by using the aq. Na2CO3 soln. as the solvent and packing the same into the body 1 at such a packing rate at which a prescribed pressure is obtd. at a prescribed temp.

As the raw material 4 for growth, a natural crystal raw stone (rath force) crushed into an appropriate size was used. Next, a seed crystal 6 is placed on the growth raw material 4 via a seed crystal support frame 5. As the zero seed crystal, for example, a Z plate of natural or artificial optical grade quartz is used. In order to avoid causing defects in the single crystal to be grown, a seed crystal with few internal inclusions, dislocations, etc. is required. The raw material for growth 4 and the seed crystal 6 are arranged in this way, and a breadboard 7 is placed between them via the seed crystal support frame 5 as well. Also, add a coloring additive to the inside of the pressure vessel. The pressure vessel having such a structure is filled with a NazCO3 aqueous solution as a medium at a filling rate such that a predetermined pressure is obtained at a predetermined temperature.
