In brines with dissolved Ca-sulphates, the growth of quartz is attained by a close packed assemblage of nuclei. These are depicted as sharp spots of 250 Å in size by SEM mode imaging. These are either spherical nuclei or electron optical diffusion features which are induced by smaller particles. Nuclei give quartz fibers by a coalescence process. The average diameter of fibers is 1 000 Å. Their length is 5 to 10 nm. By successive coalescences, fibers give ribbons, bidimensional sheets and tridimensional quartz ultimately. In the quartz paracrystal resulting from repeated attachment of nuclei, the tridimensional continuity is attained by ageing of the first precipitate. At intermediate stages of this evolution, the quartz paracrystal is cros...
