The quest to unravel the mystery of blue quartz is a vast undertaking, one that thrives on collaboration and the shared knowledge of the global geological community. This research is built on the foundation of data, samples, and insights gathered from around the world. If you are as fascinated by this geological puzzle as I am, there are several ways you can contribute to this project.

     1. Share Your Knowledge and Expertise
     The theoretical framework for this study is constantly evolving. I am eager to connect with colleagues who can offer:

  • Theoretical Help: Expertise in light scattering theory or mathematical modeling.

  • Specialized Opinions: Insights from mineralogy, petrology, geochemistry, or tectonics that could shed new light on the data.

  • Bibliographic References: Pointers to obscure publications, theses, or regional field guides that mention blue quartz occurrences.

     2. Contribute Geological Materials and Data
     The heart of this research lies in the rocks themselves. Your assistance with materials is invaluable:

  • Rock-Forming Blue Quartz Samples: I am particularly interested in receiving samples for comparative analysis. 

  • Location Data: Do you know of an outcrop, even an old or inaccessible one, that contains blue quartz? Any details—GPS coordinates, geological formation, rock type—are immensely helpful for building a more accurate global distribution map.

  • Analytical Help: Access to advanced analytical facilities (e.g., microprobe, LA-ICP-MS, TEM) or collaboration on specific analyses would dramatically accelerate the research.
