Γεράσιμος Ιωακειμ Κουτσιούκης

Περίληψη


Στην παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία παρουσιάζεται ο αχάτης με βάση βιβλιογραφικές αναφορές. Αρχικά γίνεται μια εισαγωγή με γενικές πληροφορίες για τους αχάτες καθώς και κάποια ιστορικά στοιχεία. Στη συνέχεια εξηγούνται οι μηχανισμοί που προκαλούν τα διάφορα χρώματα στους αχάτες και γίνεται διαχωρισμός και ανάλυση των ποικιλιών του με βάση το χρώμα.  Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο δίνονται πληροφορίες για τη δομή και τη σύσταση και συγκεκριμένα για την ορυκτολογία και την κρυσταλλογραφία του, καθώς και για την χρωματική ζώνωση που διακρίνει τους αχάτες. Έπειτα γίνεται επεξήγηση κάποιων ποικιλιών του με γεωγραφικά και μακροσκοπικά κριτήρια.  Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο που αφορά την γένεση του αχάτη, αναλύονται οι διεργασίες σχηματισμού του γενικότερα και ειδικότερα στα ηφαιστειακά, στα ιζηματογενή και στα υδροθερμικά πετρώματα. Γίνεται ακόμη μια μικρή αναφορά στα ιχνοστοιχεία που σχετίζονται με τους αχάτες.  Στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο αναλύεται η χημική σύσταση των αχατών με βάση κάποιες μεθόδους ανάλυσης.  Έπειτα στο πέμπτο και τελευταίο κεφάλαιο δίνονται εν συντομία κάποιες πληροφορίες  για συγκεκριμένες θέσεις εμφάνισης αχατών. Τέλος, παρατίθενται κάποια  παραδείγματα χρήσης και εκμετάλλευσης αχάτη.

In this bachelor thesis, agate is analyzed, based on bibliographic references. First there is an introduction with general information about agates as well as some historical facts. The mechanisms that cause the various colors in agates are then explained and a separation and analysis of its varieties based on color is made. In the second chapter, information is given on the structural composition and specifically on its mineralogy and crystallography, as well as on the color banding that distinguishes agates. Then there is an explanation of some of its varieties with geographical and macroscopic criteria. In the third chapter, which concerns the genesis of agate, the processes of its formation in general and in particular in volcanic, sedimentary and hydrothermal rocks are analyzed. A little mention is also made of the trace elements associated with agates. In the fourth chapter, the chemical composition of agates is analyzed based on some analytical methods. Then in the fifth and last chapter some information is briefly given about specific places of occurrence of agates. Finally, some examples of agate use and exploitation are listed.
