Rubbing Quartz Together at Neil Fung blog

Rubbing Quartz Together. Let’s break this down and understand what is happening. Take a closer look at how triboluminescence works and explore easy ways you can see it. Strike one piece of quartz. Rubbing certain crystals together can produce sparks and light. This process is called triboluminescence and it is a flash of light produced from the energy of friction, impact, or breakage. In this video we demonstrate triboluminescence using two pieces of milky quartz. Simple examples of triboluminescence include blue light from crushing a wintergreen candy or yellow light from rubbing quartz crystals together. Firmly rub together two pieces of quartz. This phenomenon, known as triboluminescence, occurs due to the release of stored energy. A very easy way to observe triboluminescence is to get two milky quartz pebbles that are large enough to easily hold and rub together with a bit. See the flashes of light? When you rub together two pieces of quartz, you break open some of the microscopic inclusions and release the hydrogen sulphide. When you go into a dark room and rub two quartz crystals together, you will start to see them glow.
