"Haboob A haboob () is a type of intense dust storm carried on an atmospheric gravity current, also known as a weather front. Haboobs occur regularly in dry land area regions throughout the world. During thunderstorm formation, winds move in a direction opposite to the storm's travel, and they move from all directions into the thunderstorm. When the storm collapses and begins to release precipitation, wind directions reverse, gusting outward from the storm and generally gusting the strongest in the direction of the storm's travel. When this downdraft of cold air, or downburst, reaches the ground, it blows dry, loose"

"Hexagonite Hexagonite is the red to pink, lilac to purple ""manganoan"" variety of tremolite. A rare amphibole, it can be transparent, translucent, and rarely opaque. Hexagonite is pleochroic, potentially displaying varying shades of blue, violet, purple, or red. It is also known as """"mangan-tremolite"""", since the manganese imparts the mineral's unique colors. Pink, lilac, and purple are the most common colors. Hexagonite has been successfully faceted. Tremolite was discovered in 1789. Hexagonite, a varietal form of tremolite, has a Mohs hardness of 5.0-6.0. Like tremolite, it is a calcium magnesium silicate hydroxide with the formula: CaMg (SiO) (OH). The mineral"

"halogen (F, Cl) and (ii) the basic structure is a double chain of tetrahedra (as opposed to the single chain structure of pyroxene). Most apparent, in hand specimens, is that amphiboles form oblique cleavage planes (at around 120 degrees), whereas pyroxenes have cleavage angles of approximately 90 degrees. Amphiboles are also specifically less dense than the corresponding pyroxenes. In optical characteristics, many amphiboles are distinguished by their stronger pleochroism and by the smaller angle of extinction (Z angle c) on the plane of symmetry. Amphiboles are the primary constituent of amphibolites. Amphiboles are minerals of either igneous or metamorphic origin;"

"Sarabauite can be found there in mineral veins through altered limestone containing quartz, wollastonite, calcite, stibnite and senarmonite. Both temperature and fluids are responsible for its formation through a two-stage hydrothermal mineralization process. First, wollastonite, diopside, and epidote form at temperatures over 400 °C. In the second stage, at over 377 °C, sarabauite and native gold develop. Calcite, stibnite, and senarmontite also form during the second stage as the mineralization cools further to 377–194 °C. Sarabauite's formation makes it the only hypogene antimony mineral whose fluid inclusions can be studied in thin section under normal light. Sarabauite Sarabauite (sar-a-bau'-ite) is"
