Shocked #Quartz is one piece of evidence that helps identify large impact areas, like the one left by Chicxulub asteroid. The quartz crystals develop a series of parallel laminae, called shock lamellae that indicate deformation, or breakage of the crystal along multiple, parallel planes. #MinCup26

This rainbow quartz crystal reveals the shock lamallae that indicates impact; here of the Chicxulub asteroid.

Quartz is a common mineral, with some very important and uncommon properties. One is piezoelectricity. When quartz is squeezed, it generates an electric charge. Together, quartz and earthquakes can promote the formation of gold nuggets, that can be quite large. #Quartz #MinCup26

The cover of each gold plated aluminum jacket, designed to protect the record from micrometeorite bombardment, also serves a double purpose in providing the finder a key to playing the record.
